[Regression] Dell latitude d520 power button doesn't suspend the notebook

Bug Description

Hi.

I used to use Ubuntu Gutsy with a Latitude Dell D520n notebook and when I pressed the power button, it triggered the suspend mode, which was quite handy.

Unfortunately, I upgraded to Hardy (and I've been keeping the distribution updated almost every day) and, now, when I press the power button, nothing happens (no suspend mode, no hibernate mode, nothing).

Would it be possible to get the past behavior with Hardy? If any further information is needed, please let me know and I will try to send it.

Thanks in advance, Rogério Brito.

This bug is fixed in hardy with gnome-power-manager_2.22.0-0ubuntu1, so I beleive it should be marked as fixed, if the problem disappears for everyone else.

gpm.log Edit (2.4 KiB, text/plain)

I have the same problem in Ubuntu 8.04.

When I used Ubuntu Gutsy I suspend with no problems.

I am using gpm 2.22.1-1ubuntu4 and it not solved.

I am attaching gpm.log.

As the originator of this bug, I must say that I don't have any problems
with Ubuntu 8.04.x. It was simply a matter of explicitly saying at the
power-settings utility which action should be taken, instead of leaving
at the default (of "ask", if I am not mistaken).

Regards, Rogério Brito.
