Hallo, Henrique,

Du meintest am 20.06.11:

The problem is now partially solved.
Updating to Ubuntu 11.04 gave another option when closing the lid -  
something like "dim the screen" or "darken the screen" (please escuse my  
gerlish), and that's nearly what I want. I'd prefer "switch off the  
screen", but I'll test the next days what it really does with the  
screen.

Under SuSE 11.3: closing the lid makes the machine unreachable. Still  
nasty.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
