maybe i didn't made myself clear. right now the only thing that happens when
i close the lid is that the screen turns off (this might be hardware i don't
know...) but what i want to do is to run a little script that will for
example pause my music, change my IM status to say "blah blah..." sort of
thing.... with out loosing network, etc... am at work and i move all over
the building.

Hello!<br>
<br>
Anyone knows how can I catch the lid close and open events?<br>
<br>
I have a T61 (widescreen), running Ubuntu 8.10. I would like to run some sc=
ripts whenever I close and open the lid.<br>

May I suggest that you trap Fn-F4 instead? I find there are times when I wa=
nt to close the lid without anything happening, eg if I leave it playing mu=
sic, or if on an ext. monitor, or sometimes I want to carry it a short dist=
ance without suspending and losing network connections.</blockquote>
