Lid Off/On with ACPI

alkos333 · 02-12-2007, 08:46 AM

I found that to turn off the lid, a simple command needs to be executed:

Code:

xset dpms force off

I would simply set the commend for an action attribute, but it turns the lid back on upon activity from either a keyboard or a mouse.

My objective is to have press a key combo (Fn+F7 on my ThinkPad T60), have the lid turn off, and don't turn back on unless the same key combo was pressed again.

Check out this post I did. I use the radeontool command.

Also use the advance search feature and search for keymap and username Brian1. I have several other post on subjects like that.

I downloaded radeontool and compiled it, but when I run it I get:

Code:

Radeon hardware not found in lspci output.

I tried running it both as a root and a user, but no luck. I have lspci and here its output:

My fault, I did not know the radeontool was for ATI video cards only. My notebook has an ATI M9000. But using the other tool like vbetool in a similiar way may work for you.

hi..

i'm on dell inspiron 1300 laptop. i have a similar problem - my lcd panel doesn't recover when i re-open the lid (after closing). after some experiment, i found out that i can actually turn it back on if i can execute 'xset dpms force on'.

so, i tried putting the code into acpi_handler.sh - but, somehow it doesn't work. i'm sure the events (lid open/close) occurred because i added an echo to file command to the events. here's my code:

Code:

      lid)
        test=$(cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state)
        test="${test##* }"
        if [ "$test" = "open" ] ; then
          /usr/bin/xset dpms force on
          echo "$test" >> /home/king/test-open.acpi
        else
          echo "$test" >> /home/king/test-close.acpi
        fi
        ;;

so, i'm wondering why the code doesn't work? if i manually execute the code after opening the lid, it works. any ideas?

thanks.

To understand you in the right way, what shall happen if you close the lid? Only a black display or a kind of suspend?

Only a black display.. I don't think I set it to suspend or anything.

I use this script to suspend my notebook to ram (4 seconds) and resume it by pressing any key (2 seconds):

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# discover video card's ID
ID=`/sbin/lspci | grep VGA | awk '{ print $1 }' | sed -e 's@0000:@@' -e 's@:@/@'`

# securely create a temporary file
TMP_FILE=`mktemp /tmp/video_state.XXXXXX`
trap 'rm -f $TMP_FILE' 0 1 15

# switch to virtual terminal 1 to avoid graphics
# corruption in X
chvt 1

/sbin/hwclock --systohc

# write all unwritten data (just in case)
sync

# dump current data from the video card to the
# temporary file
cat /proc/bus/pci/$ID > $TMP_FILE

# suspend-to-ram
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

# suspend-to-disk
# echo -n disk > /sys/power/state

/sbin/hwclock --hctosys

# restore video card data from the temporary file
# on resume
cat $TMP_FILE > /proc/bus/pci/$ID

# switch back to virtual terminal 7 (running X)
chvt 7

# remove temporary file
rm -f $TMP_FILE

I linked the script to the lid and everything works perfect (both suspend-modes).

Does the command 'echo -n mem > /sys/power/state' makes the system go into suspend mode? How do you set how & when to resume? (I assume 4 & 2 seconds is the delay?) Also, I assume you don't actually have to check for '/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state' when executing this script from acpi_handler?

Thanks again.

p/s: by the way, are you the same flux on slax?

I have in /etc/acpi/events a file lid with these lines:

Code:

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

And in /etc/acpi/actions a script lid.sh with the posted lines of my suspend script (actually I have activ the line for suspend-to-ram).

If I close the lid the notebook suspends to ram (the whole process lasts 4 seconds) and if I press any key after opening the lid it will resume (this process lasts 2 seconds).

For suspend-to-disk you must have a kernel which is able to do this (cat /sys/power/state must give a disk as output).

And yes, I am flux in Slax forum.
