This is the third time I've posted this problem because I have only received one response, which wasn't what I needed. I've got SuSE 9.0 installed on my Compaq Presario 2800T. There is a little button that sticks up on the laptop just above the keyboard that, when pressed, causes the monitor to shut off. When the button is up, the monitor is on. The button is there so that the monitor will shut off when the laptop is folded shut (while computer is still up and running).
The problem is that this button is functional while I'm installing SuSE, but then, after I choose a monitor at the end of the install, that button ceases to work. Thus, I cannot fold up my laptop with the power still on because my monitor will not shut off.
Does anyone know how to get this button to work again? Do I need to restart something in YaST? Do I need to edit some sysconfig file?
I appreciate your help

Check out http://linuxlaptops.org/compaq.html, find your Presario 2800T and check out what that person did. Don't have that laptop myself so I didn't check any of the processes he used to get the lid button working. Stan
