It reboots. You will have to ignore the lid button in HAL. Basically, create a /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/10-acpi-lid.fdi file with the following contents then restart hald: =20 =20 true If that still doesn't work, HAL may need a patch to support ignoring these kind of events. >=20 > When I have HALD running, I can no longer unmount disks.
