It's worth mentioning that doing *that* may be a bad idea. *Some* laptops (my very old Asus does) have a grill between the the keyboard and screen for ventilation, and it depends on it not being blocked. If I wanted the screen off while leaving the laptop running, I have two choices: Use hotkeys that turn the display off (you get a choice of which or both displays are active), or don't completely close the lid. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
