Is there any way to get this status, maybe under /proc/ or by some command?
Look under /proc/acpi/button/lid/. On one of my notebooks, this works:
/proc/acpi doesn't here exists, acpid is installed. Is my notebook too old?
That is entirely possible, yes. The 8000 is from ~1999? Might be that the acpi bios is blacklisted. Searching for acpi in dmesg should give more hints.
Any other ideas?
With apm stuff like suspend when closing the lid usually goes through the BIOS settings.
The only thing you'll find in /proc is /proc/apm. And IIRC this does not give you the status of the lid button or similar.
