Hardware and hardware events are exposed to the OS in many different ways...

Well but that's something you'll have to do by yourself. I don't have such hardware to test on... nor the time.

It will be different. When you install an OS it is installed to match your hardware, the best way possible...
Are you sure you have the /etc/acpi/lid.sh script? Was it there already? Is it running each time you open and close your lid?
Try:
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/acpi/lid.sh
and right after line #!/bin/bash put this
Save and close.
Open and close your lid, for each time you do it it should be adding a 1 to the test file. If 1s are been added then you did something wrong when following the steps in this tutorial, if not then Ubuntu uses a different way to capture your lid event.
