I cannot get my lid to work the way I want it, first it would always 
suspend with the screen still on but I installed a patch mentioned here 
http://sandcat.nl/~stijn/freebsd/dell.php and it has allowed me to use 
acpi to set the lid state with /sbin/sysctl -w 
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=NONE . Now when I close the lid, it doesn't 
suspend but I can see through the cracks that the screen is still on.  
How can I set it to where the screen will turn off when I close the 
lid?  Thanks.
