From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I added a rule for telling the XServer switching off display when I close my laptop's display by the following script in /etc/acpi/events: event=button/lid.* action=/usr/X11R6/bin/xset dpms force off This doesn't work even if I tell the Xserver to listen on port 6000 and set 'xhost +localhost'. But it works while having a running acpid in foreground by using 'acpid -d' - even on ttyX. So I think this must be something with this 'daemon()' function in /etc/init.d/functions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.3-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add event=button/lid.* \ action=/usr/X11R6/bin/xset dpms force off to /etc/acpi/events/display.conf 2. xhost +localhost 3. service acpid restart 4. close and reopen display Actual Results: -> nothing happens while other acpi events are processed regularly Expected Results: -> display should be switched off
Your script has no idea what your display is, as far as I can read it.
Excuse me, I first should switch on my brain :-(
