Comment 9 for bug 585601

cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/*
type: Lid Switch
state: closed

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_3'
  button.has_state = true (bool)
  button.state.value = true (bool)
  button.type = 'lid' (string)
  info.addons.singleton = {'hald-addon-input'} (string list)

  info.product = 'Lid Switch' (string)
  info.subsystem = 'input' (string)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_3' (string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event0' (string)
  input.product = 'Lid Switch' (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event0' (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)

  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0C0D:00/input/input0/event0' (string)

-> so both methods think the lid is closed, while its open.

both acpi_listen and lshal -m do not show any messages when i close / open the lid
