I want to first state that I have only tested this on my Dell D620 & D820 and do not know what else it will work on. I do remember several people complaining about this problem, mainly dell users.
The problem: When using BT2 with my notebook lid closed the LCD will not turn off.
The solution: Use of a script to check the state of the lid and either turn on or off the LCD appropriately.
Step One:
Step Two:Code:#From konsole type: nano /etc/acpi/events/lid event=button/lid* action=etc/acpi/lid.sh %e
Now you should have a file called lid located @ /etc/acpi/events/ and a file called lid.sh located @ /etc/acpi/Code:nano /etc/acpi/lid.sh #!/bin/bash if grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state then XAUTHORITY="$( ps -C xinit f|tail -n 1|sed s/.*-auth\ //|sed s/serverauth.*/Xauthority/ )" /usr/bin/xset -display :0.0 dpms force on else XAUTHORITY="$( ps -C xinit f|tail -n 1|sed s/.*-auth\ //|sed s/serverauth.*/Xauthority/ )" /usr/bin/xset -display :0.0 dpms force off fi
Thanks go to my Google'Fu™
