You could use devd, like this:
Put this in /etc/devd.conf (or change as necessary):
notify 10 {
match "system" "ACPI";
match "subsystem" "Lid";
action "/etc/rc.lid $notify";
};
and have /etc/rc.lid contain:
sync && sync && sync
if [ $1 = 0x00 ]; then
logger -t Lid Close at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`
( sleep 2 ; ataidle -s 0 0) &
sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=0
else
logger -t Lid Open at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`
sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=1
fi
Make sure your lid state is '1' on bootup.. You can just force it to 1
if you need to in sysctl.conf or something..
