Wake laptop when lid is opened?
- by crackout12
I have a SAMSUNG laptop, which by the experience in the last months, has been a great one. I am actually implementing some functionality to it, and since I noticed, I am able to wake up my laptop from sleep by just opening the lid on Windows 7, however, I need to press to power button to wake up in Ubuntu. Using a program called i-nex, I noted that the kernel DOES dettect a "lid switch", and I am looking forward to use it to wake up function. Any ideas?
UPDATE:
Thanks @yossile for bringing up some clues! However, output of command cat /proc/acpi/wakeup does not show the LID device. I still tried the second set of commands you gave me with no effect. Then I tried experimenting, guessing that LID should be named by other value, so I tried enabling the others. No victory so far. But I noticed that devices that did not have any pci listings were disabled at all time no matter what I tried. Here is the output of command cat /proc/acpi/wakeup:
root@samsung:~# cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
Device S-state Status Sysfs node
PCE4 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:04.0
SBAZ S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:14.2
P0PC S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:14.4
GEC S4 *disabled
PE20 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:15.0
PE21 S4 *disabled
PE22 S4 *disabled pci:0000:00:15.2
PE23 S4 *disabled
PWRB S5 *enabled
So maybe it could be that LID is either GEC,PE21, or PE23?
Still, there is /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state file which shows that LID is opened.
Any more ideas?
