You will have to ignore the lid button in HAL. Basically, create
a /usr/local/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/10-acpi-lid.fdi file
with the following contents then restart hald:
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version=3D"0.2">=20
<device>=20
<!-- ignore ACPI lid buttons -->
<match key=3D"button.type" string=3D"lid">
<merge key=3D"info.ignore" type=3D"bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
If that still doesn't work, HAL may need a patch to support ignoring
these kind of events.

Which disks? Volumes mounted by HAL can be controlled with the
gnome-mount command provided you have appropriate access (see
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q19 ).

You can label volumes using tunefs -L. After doing this, they should
appear with more meaningful names.
