Eureka!! I think I have a lead!
So when I do a fresh reboot and have _not_ closed the lid but run the
code you send and cat'ing the state, it seems to think the lid is
closed. When I close the lid the state remains as a closed lid. When I
open the lid, it finally triggers as being open.
So now the question is, why does it think my laptop lid is closed on a
fresh boot?
Thanks!
