Installed Fedora 18 beta on lenovo t530. It seems like power button hits are not detected in fedora 18. Using XFCE desctop but initially I was with gnome and IIRC it was the same. My settings are that lid close should result in lock screen but it always results in S2RAM. Also the button to mute microphone is not working. Mute output works though.

AFAIK this shuould be handled by systemd. @systemd-maintainer: If not, please assign to the correct component. > Using XFCE desctop but initially I was with gnome > and IIRC it was the same. Then it's not a problem with xfce4-power-manager. > My settings are that lid close should result in lock screen but it always > results in S2RAM. Again, this is systemd behavior. > Also the button to mute microphone is not working. Mute output works though. How would that be a problem with the power manager?
Closing lid stopped taking laptop asleep. Perhaps some of the latest updates to something, not sure. Still power button does not do anything.
I take my words back, after a restart closing lid makes machine asleep. I've now switched to XFCE but am enabling some gnome components. Not sure what exactly triggers sleep.
Unless XFCE takes an inhibitor lock for the handling of the lid switch logind will handle it. You can disable that with HandleLidSwitch=ignore in /etc/systemd/logind.conf. The reason logind handles this now by default is to ensure that the lid switch and suspend buttons work everywhere by default, even on servers/embedded where X is not around, and even on desktop systems where there's not always a graphical login around to handle the event.
Thank you, logind is a nice place to handle it. The bad thing is though that it's hard for a user to figure out.
Actually there must be a bug, because the power button does nothing on the t530. On an older laptop, this button shuts down the computer. But not on this one.
