           Summary: improper handling of close-lid events
           Product: unknown
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: estellnb at gmail.com


Version:           kdebase3-3.5.9-65.2 (using KDE 3.5.9)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

  If I close the lid of my laptop only the PANEL screen should be
powered off. Externally connected monitors like DVI-D_1 are expected to be kept
alive. 
  As the text consoles vt01,vt02,.. as well as Xfce sessions do not care about
the close-lid event this is an issue for KDE. It persists even if Powersave and
Acpid are set to ignore close lid events.

echo "button/lid" >>/etc/acpi/events.ignore/events.ignore
# grep "LID" /etc/sysconfig/powersave/events
# Hint: switch_vt could be useful for the LID_OPEN event (replace ignore)
EVENT_BUTTON_LID_OPEN="ignore"
EVENT_BUTTON_LID_CLOSED="ignore"


# xrandr -q|grep connected
PANEL connected
TV_7PIN_DIN disconnected
DVI-D_1 connected 1920x1200+0+0 550mm x 344mm
VGA_1 disconnected

   It is truely annoying that you can not close the panel of your laptop if you
use an external monitor (ext.mon. will spuriously be powered off thereby).
