Closed lid = KDE lockup

Steven_Shelton · 08-26-2006, 01:12 PM

Running SUSE 10.1 with KDE on an HP Pavilion ze5170 laptop. Overall it works well, but one really annoying glitch is that KDE stops responding if the lid gets closed. I have to do a hard reboot to bring it back.

Has anyone else run into this, and/or are there any suggestions for putting an end to this annoyance?

Suse probably tries to put your system in a power saving mode that is
incompatible. Check klaptop, kpowersave and yast's settings about
this, you might try another power-saving mode. Hibernate is
generally known to work well on SuSe so you might try that...

I don't know how to with SUSE but give it a try
just go to /etc/acpi/events/video.conf
and there read the top lines of the file...
To fix it just uncomment them.

1. Edit the /etc/acpi/events/video.conf. This file should contain:
event=video.*
action=/usr/sbin/vbetool dpms on
2. Restart the acpi daemon by typing:
/sbin/service acpid restart
