The kernel does not react to lid events.  But go into the bios and tell it
to not try to suspend the machine when the lid closes, that MIGHT make some
difference to the ACPI events it generates when nothing is processing
hotkeys.

And run an lsof to track down everything that is listening to
/proc/acpi/event.
