I only noticed this now, thought it is a hardware glitch. My laptop display - and its backlight - stay on when I close the lid. Shouldn't it be turned off like in an OS-independent way?.. Anyway, mailing lists say that at least some lap- tops keep their display on with closed lid, I'm not sure about backlight though. I don't need the lid to trigger any Sx state, can I just get the display to turn off? BTW, acpi notices the lid closed event, so the trigger must be working. If not, I would appreciate a way to turn it off with some script, so that I can run it manually. My laptop is the now infamous Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pa 1510 [1].
