Closing Lid Setting Options

[jpmatrix]

what is the defalut behaviour of closing the lid on debian zaurus ?
doest it suspend or does it just shut the screen off ?
where could we set that behaviour ?

Hi, any idea why zaurusd works on icewm but not on xfce4? Is there anything I have to change?

the screen rotates while using icewm as the window manager by swiveling the lid, but when I use xfce4 in the same system it doesn't. any ideas? I have both window managers (icewm and xfce4) installed in eabi in my C3200. I tried both my own from scratch installation as per Q17 on the wiki as well as using the rootfs from Zdevil and I get the same results.

Thanks...

I had a slightly different reaction. I couldn't get the change in script to take effect, then I realized that zaurusd was not running. When I got it running, it rotated the screen (a second time, since I start the server with the angle set), but the size of windows in each screen seemed to presume the opposite orientation, so it was not usable. I have gotten rid of the screen-rotate settings -- well, using the machine with the "portrait mode" where the keys are hidden is kinda pointless without a virtual keyboard, anyway -- but kept the "closed" settings, so now it automatically suspends when I close the screen --- should help with accidental re-activation, but it doesn't. If you hit the suspend/resume key with the machine suspended, and the lid closed, it starts up and stays up, even with zaurusd running and apm -s the command for when the lid is closed. Close it again and it suspends.

solution for that (virtual keyboard) is here :

OK, I have it all set up and running correctly, though I did have to install a catalan config file (english was not available....). OK, since I will probably learn some Catalan next Spring anyway, I guess that is good. But weird.

However, every time I re-boot or login, I have to re-start /etc/init.d/zaurusd in order to straighten out the screen. There is some sort of error message on the screen if I kill the X server about Xlib. If I had to guess I would say that I need to run the zaurusd script after the X server starts, but that is not the way it happens.

I could straighten out the server by replacing the angle option on the call to the server --- currently it is exec /usr/bin/Xfbdev -screen 480x640 "$@" but was exec /usr/bin/Xfbdev -screen 480x640@270 "$@" before I re-instituted zaurusd. But this it not available for the xdm screen, and not when I first login, either. I have to start the daemon again, even though it is in /etc/rc2.d

Any clues? Where in the start order is your /etc/rc2.d/S**zaurusd (that is, what goes where the ** is)? Does this all work for someone? In order to get the shifted screen for the closed mode, I need to fix this.
