I'm don't know how to activate that with lid closure although it is probably possible.
HTH,

I think is possible using acpid

You have to make a configuration file which will match acpi events with a cli script. The acpi events are logged in /var/log/messages, so a tail -f could give some clue if a acpi messagge is sent at lid closure.
Check http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml

easuter has provided some scripts.

/etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$LIDSTATE" == "open" ]; then

after adding those and setting them executable you will need to add acpid to /etc/rc.d/rc.M like this

Code: [Select]

you also need the hibernate scripts
