If you have problems with suspending your linux box when you are closing lid,
then you should take a quick look on this post !
edit this file: /etc/acpi/handler.sh
vim +/lid /etc/acpi/handler.sh
if you see the lid section empty, then add something like this: pm-suspend
eg.
button/lid)
#echo “LID switched!”>/dev/tty5
pm-suspend
;;
Just to be safe, restart acpi daemon
sudo /etc/rc.d/acpid restart
Thats it !
