With the setting not set at all by leaving it at defaults, while the BIOS does have close lid as Active, I noticed that even with the lid closed or with NONE set, the LCD is still on but it's just the machine already suspended since it's like the screen's image is frozen when you try anything. root@bigbang [11:37am][/home/vince] >> sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: S1 But let me see what S0 does. root@bigbang [11:37am][/home/vince] >> sysctl -w hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S0 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: S1 -> S0 root@bigbang [11:40am][/home/vince] >> sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: S0 When I closed the lid, I can still see through the slit the LCD is still on but it's like the entire machine froze or something since it doesn't resume from suspend but it still has the last image of the daemon screensaver but doesn't change.
