   Laptop lid switch

   Hi,   
      
   I had a conversation with one or two people in here, particularly unruh   
   way back in April about how to get my laptop to do a suspend-to-disk   
   rather than a log-out when the lid is closed on the laptop.   
      
   He suggested replacing the contents of the script:   
      
   /etc/acpi/events/lm_lid   
      
   with this:   
      
   event=button[ /]lid   
   action= /etc/acpi/actions/pm-fallback-hibernate   
      
   I've tried this, and I still get a log-out.   
      
   Does anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong?  Is this maybe a   
   permissions problem?  And if so, is there a way around it?   
      
   This is Mdv2010.1, if that helps.  It's not a major thing, it would just   
   be nice to have the thing go to sleep when I close the lid!   
      
   Ta!
