Actually having said that Michael's suggestion works perfectly is not strictly true. Firstly note that for me it works best if I set the actions in System Settings > Power for lid close to Do Nothing, but even then I sometimes have problems with it not correctly recognising the external monitor on resume, so it starts up with the wrong resolution or not at all. If I hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7 it generally recovers, sometimes I have to unplug the monitor for a few seconds and then plug it back in.

In the gnome settings, the lid close action is configured to suspend (both on AC and on battery), but closing the lid does nothing. Here is the output of "acpid -d" when I close the lid: No protocol specified xset: unable to open display ":0" And here it what it says when I open the lid: Sessions still open, not unmounting Here is the output of acpi_listen when I close/open the lid: button/lid LID0 00000080 00000009 button/lid LID0 00000080 0000000a Here is what /proc/acpi says with the lid open and closed: gpothier@tadzim:~$ cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state state: open gpothier@tadzim:~$ cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state state: closed Suspending in itself works fine with the laptop's suspend button. Suspend on lid close worked fine in Natty.
