Ok i have found a way to make the lid.sw really turn OFF the LCD..

echo -e "hint.acpi.0.disabled=\"1\"" >>/boot/device.hints

This disables the acpi & make the lid.sw work ok..(of course it's
controlled by the BIOS now, not by the FBSD acpi)..

Now what i have been thinking is to make a patch to the acpi code and
make it ignore the lid.sw and let it be controlled by the BIOS.. is this
posible?¿

Any help well be really appreciated..
