Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: acpi-support
I run Kubuntu 7.10 on a Toshiba laptop.
I noticed that my laptop didn't suspend properly when I closed the lid.
It usually went into 100% CPU usage in the X server.
On the other hand, it suspended OK when doing it from the guidance-
power-manager GUI, or even using the suspend button.
I finally traced the problem to be that /etc/acpi/lid.sh wasn't told to
back off, as the suspend is handled by guidance-power-manager. And, in
turn, this is due to the fact that /usr/share/acpi-support/policy-funcs
isn't aware about guidance-power-manager. The following patch shows what
I did to solve it:

echo 0;
else
(Another annoying thing is that the DCOP command in this function fails
if run by root.)
Of course: if you run kpowersave you will not be bitten by any of the
above problems.
It took me some time to figure this one out, I hope it can help someone
else too.
