Ubuntu 7.10 - screen doesnt lock when closing laptop lid

categories:

This used to work in Ubuntu 7.04..

Here’s the fix until the feature works again (See bugreport 156226 in launchpad)

You should also enable “blank-screen” in the same section, I noticed the screen doesn’t go blank when the lid is closed without it
