This does indeed work (just like the lid switch thing), thank you. One 
problem though is that
rc.resume is not read in all cases. While acpiconf honors it, just 
hitting the suspend button and
resuming (hitting the power button) does not turn the lcd back on. Is 
there a way to fix this?

I tried setting an event in devd.conf  for the power button to turn the 
display back. It did not
work and either way I would prefer to use rc.suspend and rc.resume for 
this kind of a thing
since I'd like to ultimately have the power button suspend and resume 
the machine.

I appreciate the help.
Respect
