I closed the lid, waited for some seconds (to work around bug 30802), moved the mouse (watching the backlight switch back on) and opened the lid (unlocked the session), so I could read the following output:

$ lshal -m

Start monitoring devicelist:
-------------------------------------------------
acpi_LID property button.state.value = true
acpi_LID condition ButtonPressed = lid
acpi_LID property button.state.value = false
acpi_LID condition ButtonPressed = lid

The output is the same when I do not move the mouse inbetween closing and opening the lid.

Tested on Flight 6 dist-upgraded today.
