Bug Description

Upgraded dapper system to edgy.

Closing the laptop screen should just give me a blanck screen as set in gnome-power-manager. So a user could continue his session once he opens the laptop screen.

However, it ends my session, and then blancks the screen. Once I open the screen, it brings me to the login screen, where I can log in fine and start a new session.

Hello, lid closing works fine for me. What model laptop do you have, and what about killing gnome-power-manager and starting it like

gnome-power-manager --verbose --no-daemon >/tmp/out 2>&1

then close the lid, does it log you out? can you attach /tmp/out?

Hey, I just spend a long time debugging this. And suddenly it hit me.

In dapper I was using fglrx, in the upgrade to edgy this was removed. Now that I reinstalled fglrx in edgy, the problem is solved...

I guess you can close this one up, sinse it's a freak problem unlikely to occur for others. The problem never was gnome-power-manager , /var/log/messages always stated:

gnome-power-manager: (finalbeta) DPMS blanking screen because the lid has been closed on ac power.

Sry for your time.
