Re: [PLUG] Bucks County LUG

[Andrew Libby <andrew.libby@gmail.com>]

I just went through this on gentoo.  If you're using acpi
(http://www.acpi.info/) then acpid is the way to go.  My bet
is that if you install acpid (probably an RPM that comes with Matndriva)
you'll likely be all set.  If you're not, you can follow the
following gentoo docs to the extent they might be applicble to
Mandriva:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_ACPI_basic_configuration

I wound up with: 

/etc/apcid/events/lid:

event=button[ /]lid.*
action=/etc/acpi/lid.sh

/etc/acpi/lid.sh:

STATEFILE=/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state

STATE=`awk '{print $2}' $STATEFILE`

case "$STATE" in
    "closed")
        logger -i -t acpi-lid "Lid closed, sutting light off"
        radeontool light off
        ;;
    *)
        logger -i -t acpi-lid "Lid open, turning lit on"
        radeontool light on
        ;;
esac

Hope this is helpful.
