It was deprecated during the 6.1 release cycle https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64/machdep.c#rev1.224 and accordingly, its deprecation was announced on upgrade61.html. The machdep.lidsuspend sysctl was left functioning to ease the transition. During the 6.2 release cycle it was definitely removed: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64/machdep.c#rev1.231 > Also, where can I find documentation about what more options there are to > machdep.lidaction? The machdep sysctls are only briefly explained in comments in /etc/examples/sysctl.conf, as sysctl(3) is already very long. Here are the machdep sysctls for amd64: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/etc/etc.amd64/sysctl.conf?annotate=1.7
