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
fi
