xfce4-power-management: lid issue

[Ali Abdallah]

Hi,

You have problem with your ACPI driver, really there is nothing we can 
do about that, the power manager should trust the kernel always, better 
to report a bug to your ACPI drivers maintainers.

I'm sorry, hopefully you get a fix for your issue.

Cheers,
Ali.
