Closing the lid used to suspend the laptop but leave the screen on. I then applied the dell acpi patch mentioned here http://sandcat.nl/~stijn/freebsd/dell.php and it help on some things. Now, when I use sysctl to set the lid state to NONE it no longer suspends when I close the screen. But, it still keeps the screen on as I can see through the cracks. I need to know if anyone knows how to get the screen to turn off. Thanks
