	Hmmm, I don't have anything in my cardbus slots since everything
is on the Mini-PCI but what does your sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state show
for the current setting?

vince@bigbang [2:50am][~] >> sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE

	This is after I did /sbin/sysctl -w hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=NONE
in /etc/rc.local as that works fine on my IBM ThinkPad 770Z.
