This works like a charm:
acpi_video_load=3DYES in /boot/loader.conf
And this in /etc/devd.conf
notify 10 {
match "system" "ACPI";
match "subsystem" "Lid";
action "/sbin/sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=3D$notify";
};
This will turn on/off the LCD when the lid-key is pressed.
I also added this, which turns off the LCD when pressing suspend:
notify 10 {
match "system" "ACPI";
match "subsystem" "Button";
match "notify" "0x01";
action "/sbin/sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=3D0";
};
Turning the LCD back on, when resuming, needs to be done manually. I
think /etc/rc.{suspend,resume} is a better place for this.

Nate suggested some things I could try to narrow this problem done. I'll
give them a try over the weekend. Stay tuned! :)
