Re: Problem with lid on Dell D400
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

on Dell 1300B I use module acpi_video
add to loader.conf acpi_video_load="yes"
and configure devd.conf to run script on lid change status: exist in
it's examples.
notify 10 {
match "system" "ACPI";
match "subsystem" "Lid";
action "/sbin/lidctl $notify";
};
# cat /sbin/lidctl
#!/bin/sh
hive=hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active
sysctl=/sbin/sysctl
case "$1" in
"1" | "0x01")
${sysctl} ${hive}=1 >/dev/null
;;
"0" | "0x00")
${sysctl} ${hive}=0 >/dev/null
;;
esac

Re: Problem with lid on Dell D400
Thanks Christian That would be something that I can try, if only I had X running. Any other utilities to send a dpms signal that don't require X? Kind regards, Spil.

Very annoying. The machine is fully > functional otherwise (accessed via ssh). It sounds like the behaviour I experienced on the Dell Latitude D610.
