Thanks Victor,
Installed acpi_video and will try this later, currently I can't get to
the console to check. Will report back after checking!
New sysctls after kldload acpi_video:
hw.acpi.video.tv0.active: 0
hw.acpi.video.crt0.active: 0
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active: 0
hw.acpi.video.ext0.active: 0
Kind regards,
Spil
