Debian & my laptop

[JonnyBlaze]

When I close the lid on my laptop that I recently installed Debian, it freezes right away. Does anyone know how to fix this?

thanks

Disable ACPI?

Look in /etc/acpi/actions, there's the scripts that acpid calls when ACPI events occur.

Its a Dell Latitude d600, not sure, not sure. I just installed it from the web yesterday so I would hope the newest version of both.

I'll check that site out, thanks.

i dont have that directory. could that be the problem?

No, if you don't have that directory then acpid isn't the problem because it's not there. It's possible there's a BIOS setting telling it to sleep or something when the lid is closed that's not playing well with Linux.

It could be a buggy DSDT.
