Thanks for your hint; I'm using since some time now:

cat /usr/local/etc/devd/lid.conf
#
# When the the Lid is open / closed ....
#
# <guru@unixarea.de>, August 2009
#
notify 10 {
        match "system"          "ACPI";
        match "subsystem"       "Lid";
        match "notify"          "0x00";
        action                  "/usr/local/bin/xset -display :0.0 s 1";
};
notify 10 {
        match "system"          "ACPI";
        match "subsystem"       "Lid";
        match "notify"          "0x01";
        action                  "/usr/local/bin/xset -display :0.0 s
120";
};

Thx
