Adrian-

You may need to write a lid close handler script that will intercept the 
acpi call and do what you need.  I have a sample one here:


/etc/acpi/events/lid
======================

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

You most likely will need a bash shell script which in this case is 
named suspend.sh.  A possible one looks thus:

/etc/acpi/suspend.sh
=======================

#!/bin/sh
echo mem > /sys/power/state

You can add more mileage to the default suspend.sh script as you need. 
I usually add stopping the linuxant drivers on suspend and then waking 
the linksys card back up again when the laptop comes back to life.

Anyways, these are just samples and I took them off a ThinkPad T23 when 
it was not looking :)
