[Bug 41709] HAL does not go to hibernate or sleep on Inspiron 600m

[steppinrazor]

Public bug reported:

I set my laptop up to go to hibernate on lid closed. I tested this by
faking a closed lid, HAL went into hibernate but came out immediately. I
then set it to go to sleep on lid closed, HAL went to sleep without a
problem but when the lid was open it just gave me a blank white screen.
No feedback was given in either case.

I'm using the latest ubuntu kernel on Dapper beta.

** Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
