Closed Lid == Laptop Frozen

Hello:

Everytime I close the lid on my laptop the screen goes back, the mouse either disappears or freezes and I have to press the power button to restart it or turn it off. This happen even if xorg is not running or if I close it a little bit before the shutdown process finishes.

Any ideas on how to fix/debug?

Laptop: Dell Latitude x300
Kernel: 2.6.32-ARCH
MODULES=(!b43legacy b43 fuse acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng netfs hal !network !networkmanager @crond @alsa @wicd)

Another quick question, I have 'cpufreq_ondemand' in my module array and this is my /etc/conf.d/cpufreq file:

#configuration for cpufreq control
# valid governors:
#  ondemand, performance, powersave,
#  conservative, userspace
governor="ondemand"

# limit frequency range (optional)
# valid suffixes: Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, THz
#min_freq="2.25GHz"
#max_freq="3GHz"

# use freq to set up the exact cpu frequency using it with userspace governor
#freq=

Any ideas why I must write ' sudo cpufreq-set -g ondemand' to give the the govenor ondemand pecedance over the 'performance' one every time I start the laptop? Did I miss something in the configuration?
