Hello,
I am currently setting up my ThinkPad X220 as a server running
OpenBSD
and wish to disable the integrated display as it is anyway and will
not
be used.
Equally, I wish for the ThinkPad to not suspend when I close the lid,
as the lid will be closed practically all the time. :)
I am not familiar with how the underlying systems work so I had
trouble
figuring out a solution myself, and searching online sadly did not
give
me working results. Any help is thus greatly appreciated!
Best,

Okay, by trial and error I found the sysctl setting machdep.lidaction=0
turns off suspend on closing lid, and I figured out I need to add it to
/etc/sysctl.conf to make it permanent, so I'm sorry for the early
question about that :)
Still would like to know how to turn the display off, have not figured
that out yet ;)
Best,

You can turn off the screen via X:
xset dpms force off
(I found this on google in 2/3 minutes, so you might want to improve
your google-foo.)
