corsac at hidalgo: for i in `seq 0 8`; do

cat: input0/capabilites/sw: No such file or directory

This is on debian 2.6.31:
Linux hidalgo 2.6.31-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Oct 24 17:50:31 UTC 2009 x86_64
GNU/Linux

So I guess “something” doesn't report the LID input. What puzzles me is
that it's a ThinkPad, which is vastly used by Linux people, so I would
expect that kind of stuff to be present if it's the way to go.

Though, iirc, LID events are reported using event4:

/dev/input/event4
   bustype : BUS_HOST
   vendor  : 0x0
   product : 0x5
   version : 0
   name    : "Lid Switch"
   phys    : "PNP0C0D/button/input0"
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_SW

Cheers,
