Peter I have a Inspiron 8200, and I have the following in /etc/devd.conf to turn off the screen when the lid is closed: notify 10 { match "system" "ACPI"; match "subsystem" "Lid"; match "notify" "0x00"; action "/usr/local/bin/xset -display :0 dpms force off > /tmp/xset.log"; }; -- The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has occurred.
