30323fb6d552c41997baca5292bf7001366cab57 initializes the switch to the correct 
state, in theory, it seems VGBS() is returning the wrong thing? could it 
report it has the switch and in a closed state even if it doesn't have it?
 also seems device specific, on my inspiron6352 if i go in teblet mode the 
keyboard keeps working until i fold it completely (which i don't know/don't 
think is something detectable at all from the software side)

can you test with the command evtest (if an external keyboard works, or via 
ssh)?, then looking at the state of the intel virtual button driver it should 
show you the current state of the switch
