I have a Compaq Presario M2000 (same model?) and have seen the same in both Dapper and Edgy. In Edgy I'm getting that message everytime I logged in, in Dapper when I had it configured to hibernate on lid down it would hibernate as soon as I logged in. After that though, it seemed to detect lid events correctly.
ie, after I restored from the erronious hibernate, the next time I shut the lid, it would hibernate. -- hal (through guidance-power-manager) considers laptop lid always closed https://launchpad.net/bugs/66477 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
