Re: suspend on lid closed doesn't work

[Paolo Galtieri]

In my /etc/UPower/UPower.conf I have

IgnoreLid=false

When I close the lid of my laptop it does appear to suspend, the monitor 
goes blank and neither mouse nor keyboard respond, however after a few 
seconds everything resumes and I can login.
