ACPI button/lid problem

Hello all,
I have been running Arch on this laptop for quite some time now. Recently though I had to do a reinstall of it because I messed it up while trying to do something. Anyway, I got everything working except for the lid problem, i have the age old when I close it, it freezes. I have installed ACPI and it recognizes the Lid event, however it is still frozen I checked the /var/log/messages.log and this is what showed up:
Jun 19 11:33:12 UsbArch logger: ACPI group/action undefined: video / VID1
Jun 19 11:33:12 UsbArch logger: ACPI group/action undefined: video / VID
All I can tell is that it doesnt recognize the laptop screen or something. On the last install acpi worked like a charm, I dont know why it is not working now. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Levi.

I bet it does not freeze.
Test it, follow these steps exactly as they are written:
Start xwindows
open a terminal
close the lid
open the lid
wait for a second
then type this
xset dpms force on
then press enter
Your monitor should come back on.
If this works you will need to edit your /etc/acpi/actions/lm_lid.sh file
also make sure that you install laptop_mode and acpid
here is the content of my lm_lid.sh
#!/bin/sh
test -f /usr/sbin/laptop_mode || exit 0
#lid button pressed/released event handler
#From: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Automatically_turn_off_your_monitor
if grep -q open /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state
then
XAUTHORITY="$( ps -C xinit f|sed 's/.*-auth $.*$serverauth.*/\1Xauthority/p' )" /usr/bin/xset -display :0.0 dpms force on
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto
/usr/bin logger dpms force on
else
XAUTHORITY="$( ps -C xinit f| sed -n 's/.*-auth $.*$serverauth.*/\1Xauthority/p' )" /usr/bin/xset -display :0.0 dpms force off
/usr/bin logger dpms force off
fi

The only thing I added was the /usr/sbin/pm-suspend.
When I run /usr/sbin/pm-suspend from a terminal, the suspend works fine, but when I try to use the close lid suspend I have trouble resuming. When I open the lid, the laptop starts making noises and lights up (as if it were to resume), but after a while it goes and suspends again.
Pushing the power button to try to resume (this is how I successfully resumed from the commandline suspend) causes the same behavior to happen, so I ended up just holding down the power button and rebooting.
I tried commenting the /usr/sbin/pm-suspend, and uncommented the default echo line. This caused "LID switched!" to be displayed 3 times on /dev/tty5; each one on the next line further to the right. I'm not sure if that is supposed to be normal behaviour.

Button/lid (no /proc/acpi/events?)

I must be missing something obvious but it seem that when I close my laptop's lid, the button/lid section of handler.sh is not triggered. I have acpi running fine, it even seems that other events are successfully triggered (like ac_adapter), but not button/lid. Essentially I'm trying to run 'powersave -u' when I close the lid.
Help please?

Thanks for the reply. It seems like this might be part of a bigger problem though, because I don't seem to have a /proc/acpi/event. What I have in /proc/acpi are ac_adapter, battery, button, embedded_controller, fan, power_resource, processor, thermal_zone, and video.
Also, when I start my computer, Arch says that the acpi daemon started successfully. But if I stop it (also successfully) and then try to start it again, it always fails with "acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy".
Here's some sample output from /var/log/acpid which doesn't seem to be very useful. The exiting lines are probably me manually stopping acpid, although it never starts up again unless I reboot..

Now I'm really confused.

/proc/acpi/button does not exist.

/proc/acpi/button does not exist. Any ideas?
or, anyone knows which module is the owner of /proc/acpi/button?
Thanks!

I am having the same problem, even with a stock kernel. There is no power button
device and therefore acpi_listen does not detect putton press events. I am on a
Thinkpad T420s, which used to work until a recent reinstall. Here are the

enicham's):

IOS 6.1.3 WIFI button disable problem on iPhone4S - It is definitely a BUG

Hi Apple Fans
I have a full house of Apple products from iPhone -> iPAD -> iPod -> Mac -> AirPort, and I am suffering from WIFI button disable problem after upgrade to iOS 6.1.3, without any clue after calling Apple Support, factory reset and reload iPhone for more than 10 times. I also try all tips on Apple Support Communicties except put it into a freezer, still no any luck. Apple Support suggests that my iPhone may be factly!
Tonight, I can get my WIFI back in below sequence:
1. Switch to English language from Chinese
2. Turn Cellular Data Option to off
3. Reset Network Setting
After the phone reset, the WIFI row show 'Not Connected', and I can select my home WIFI (Airport Express) without trouble. To prove my finding is workable to all case, can you try the same and update here if it works for you?
Good Luck!
PS: I always believe it is a BUG.

Hi,
I sympathise with you as my iPhone 4s is 7 months old and is also greyed out. I tried everthing except the potentially stupid one of putting the iphone in a freezer! I took the phone back to the vendor who sent it away and repaired it. But alas after a month it is greyed out again. I have again returned to the vendor and he will repair it again. I asked him how and he told me it is a software conflict and he has to spend around 9 hours downloading a patch repair. Apple are aware of this issue and I feel completely let down because they have not posted a fix on the net. Presently I am living and working in Dubai, back in the UK I am sure my iPhone would have been exchanged for a new one. I need my iPhone for my work and cannot afford to just buy a new one so I have been let down and despite for years being a supporter of Apple and their products I shall think twice before investing in any more Apple products.

Standard button image problem

Hi,
I've got a problem when I try to set Image to the button from standard components.. I can set it up, but than I didn't see the image in the browser.
With the button from basic components there is everything working fine, unfortunately I need that component from standard.. any advice?
thx.

thx.Standard button has problems with images due to a JSF issue. To work around the issue, remove leading / from the buttons image property and re-deploy. This should cause the standard button image to display correctly.
Hope it helps,

Facing duplicate button press problem.

Hi,
I am a beginner to JSF technology. I am working on a project that uses JSF 1.1 specification. I am facing "*duplicate button press problem*". Most of the links and submit buttons do not respond. With a lot of search I found that this problem was fixed in JSF 1.2.
I want to know whether upgrading to JSF 1.2 will work or not ? Also will it require code changes in existing code or simply upgrade will do?

I'm not sure why you are focused on 1.1 vs 1.2 on this issue. For both versions you need the POST-REDIRECT-GET pattern, facilitated by the <redirect/> directive in the navigation rules.

TS3274 If my iPad home button got problem?

If my iPad home button have problem but my iPad still under warranty can i use the warranty to take service for my iPad?

Yes the home button problem would be covered by the warranty as long as you didn't do something accidentally to cause the home button to fail. If it is a hardware failure - it will be covered under the warranty.
Is the home button no longer working? Have you tried to calibrate the home button?
Calibrate the home button
1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.

IPhone 5 on off button having problem

Take a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) and have the Device evaluated...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Acpi HP6710b lid close bug

Common problem with HP6710b is to froze on lid close.
I found on arch wiki solution for this crap....
echo "1" > /proc/acpi/video/C098/DOS
I need to place this command on startup.... but where?
During run rc.local /proc/acpi/video/C098/DOS does not exists

Would surprise me. Does it work when your computer is up and running? Replacing the C098 by an asterisk should do the job too I think, since that value can differ between models. Even better is replacing that value by the one your system uses .

Dv9000 lid problem (but not the one you're thinking of)

I've encountered a problem with my dv9000 lid that as far as I can tell is pretty unique. (My unit has already experienced the left hinge cracking problem, but it was repaired earlier this year.)
Two nights ago, I closed the lid of my computer after normal use. When I returned to the unit a short while later, I found that pressing the lid latch release button only released the left latch! Furthermore, the button did not provide any resistance until pushed to peak displacement. After a few minutes of repeatedly pressing the button in vain, the left latch stopped releasing as well.
Thankfully, I was eventually able to get the lid open again using paperclips to push back the spring-loaded mechanims holding the latches in place. My current workaround to let me close the lid is that I have surrounded both latches with duct tape so the mechanisms in the base don't hold the lid shut anymore.
Clearly, this is not an ideal solution, so I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue, and if so, how have you resolved it. Any other comments would be welcome as well.

I had the same problem...my problem was actually a bent cable connecting the motherboard to the wireless switch on the front left bottom of the laptop. Opened it up and replaced the bent white maybe 6" flat cable and the lid opens and closes just fine now.

Screen goes blank with slightest movement of the lid; problem related to hidden sensor

I posted this in the display section but got no answer. Because it's hardware related, I am giving it a try here;
The problem occurs in the following 3 ways:
- Vista: when the lid is moved back and forth a *little* bit, the screen goes blank/black; restore is possible by first closing lid, waiting a few seconds till the lid light dims; then quickly bringing the lid back in position and press any button brings it back to life
- Windows 7: almost identical, exept no button press is needed; this could be a settingin power scheme, I didn't check because it's not so relevant
- Linux: same but no way to bring it back to life again; reboot system is only possibility
This means the magnetic sensor in the bezel that deactivates the system when the lid is closed is still working, but I don't understand why the screen becomes black when it is slightly moved back/forth ? I have read about some sensor hidden behind the hinge depending on the model but very little info how to solve the problem
Could someone explain what is happening and how to find the cause ?

If only I could understand what's going on that would help me A LOT. I understand this is difficult, but there must be some HP expert who knows about this issue. Understanding the problem is the first step.
What could be useful for me to know is where exactly is that sensor, how to locate it, how to test it, what is the module or part to replace it if needed etc.
Here are the notebook and its specs:

Simple button background problem

Good day,
I'm new to flex and MXML. I've gone through the initial difficulties of getting familiar with the IDE and programming language. Now that this is done, I'm really starting to enjoy it.
I'm currently facing what is probably a basic problem. I've created an MXML Button component. When I instanciate it somewhere in another component, it comes up with a weird square background under my button, like this :
My button is a single line component, like this :
<s:Button label="Measure" skinClass="skins.MeasureDistanceSkin" width="70" height="25" click="OnClick(event);" creationComplete="Init(event);" />
My button instanciation line looks like this :
<MeasureButton map="{map}" left="110" top="42" width="80" height="33" id="MyButton" />
Can anyone give me a hand with this?
Thanks,
Bruno

You couldn't have made trillions of buttons that work using that code in AS3. It would have to be something more like the following to work in AS3...
stop();
btn_page2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotoPage2);
function gotoPage2(e:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(99);
Switched places in the btn_page2 line and changed Void (AS2) to void (AS3)

10.5.2 wake/sleep and closed-lid problems

As of 10.5.2 my MBP no longer works correctly in closed lid mode using a hardware
setup that previously worked flawlessly. After plugging in power and video, plugging
in the USB keyboard seems to wake the system, but no video. I then must open the
lid, unplug the USB and video and try to get the system to respond. I often must cycle
the power to reset the system--very disturbing to do that.
Also as of 10.5.2, I have had to power-cycle the machine when it has refused to wake
in open-lid mode and this weekend I the entire machine froze (no mouse movement,
no expose, etc) in the middle of work using a graphics-intensive program and I had
to reboot by cycling the power.
A friend also reported similar issue in which the system would not respond after the
screensaver became active.
Are others seeing problems like these? I am beginning to suspect that the post-10.5.2
graphics update has problems.

I just wiped my HD and reinstalled everything besides the Graphics Update. I can now close the lid of my MBP and use my external monitor alone. The Graphics Update had made that impossible.
Further, I am in the habit of putting my MCP to sleep and putting it in a backpack in the morning, meeting friends for breakfast, and re-awakening it at the office. When I did get to my office, I found (as another user had on another thread) that the MBP, even closed, had woken itself up and was hot as heck. I am uncertain that sleep will work properly under 10.5.2, but I know that the display wackiness of the Graphics Update was driving me nuts. I will not install it until Apple fixes it.
I looked around for awhile for a way to uninstall the Graphics Update, but could not find it...I suspect it exists somewhere.
The 10.5.2 Combo update (343MB download) DOES NOT include the Graphics Update, and at this time, I seem quite ok with everything else updated.

Not the end of the world, multi button mouse problem.

Hi there, I have a Microsoft multi button mouse which works fine in Leopard. I have configured 2 of the buttons for Command+H (Hide), and Command+W (Close). The buttons work fine everywhere except one place, and that's System Preferences.
I have added a custom configuration for System Prefs, but that doesn't seem to solve the problem either. It isn't the end of the world, but it would be nice if it did work.
Thanks,
Anil.

Hi Topher,
I am using the latest driver from Microsoft, and the mouse works fine everywhere else except System Prefs. I haven't tried USB Overdrive because the Microsoft driver has a very nice front end which makes configuring the mouse very easy.
Thanks,
Anil.
