Keeping in mind that I'm _not_ using or even testing backlighting, the |
29 |
place where I controlled whether the laptop got screen locked or |
30 |
hibernated was in the KDE System Settings app where I disabled all |
31 |
such stuff. Now the screen just goes black when the lid is closed, |
32 |
saving some power, but nothing locks, sleeps, hibernates or any other |
33 |
such response. |

I did nothing in the kernel that I see. |
