  To answer my own question, I ended up using a cool
  app named radeontool (sysutils/). Clearly, I'm
  lucky to have a Radeon in my laptop. Now I just
  have to figure out how to call a script on lid
  open/close event.

put into /etc/devd.conf and reload devd:

notify 10 {
        match "system"          "ACPI";
        match "subsystem"       "Lid";
        action                  "/etc/rc.lid $notify";
};

Then in /etc/rc.lid:

#!/bin/sh
STAT=$1 
                                                            
if [ $STAT = 0x00 ]; then                                      
        logger -t Lid $STAT Close at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`    
	# do something for lid close event here
else                                                        
        logger -t Lid $STAT Open at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`     
	# do something for lid open event here
