Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.86-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

/etc/acpi/lid.sh does not work right for me. First problem was that
lid.sh calls /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank, which only turns off
the screen, but does not put the computer to sleep. As opinions differ
about what to do upon lid closure, this behaviour is fine with me (a
debconf question "What's supposed to happen when you close the lid"
would be cool, though). I just replaced the call to screenblank with a
call to s2ram.

However, sometimes (sorry, cannot be more specific) lid.sh just does not
work at all. I close the lid, and s2ram (or screenblank, for that
matter) just is not executed. I put some debugging statements into the
script. The problem is that '[ x"$XAUTHORITY" != x"" ]' (around line
17) returns False, which results in nothing being executed.

To have this fixed for my needs, I just replaced the whole 'for x in
/tmp/.X11-unix/*; do .... done' stuff with /usr/sbin/s2ram, but it'd be
neat if this could be fixed for real. If you need any more information
or tests, feel free to contact me.

Cheers,

Wolf
