Hmmm, I don't have anything in my cardbus slots since everything is on the Mini-PCI but what does your sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state show for the current setting? vince@bigbang [2:50am][~] >> sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE This is after I did /sbin/sysctl -w hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=NONE in /etc/rc.local as that works fine on my IBM ThinkPad 770Z.
