Does anyone have this running? For my Dell's, I usually added a line into rc.suspend and rc.resume, to toggle the acpi video sysctl. Something like: sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=0 in /etc/rc.suspend, and: sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=1 in /etc/rc.resume. Now, if your setting is by default =0, then you probably will want to add something like this to /etc/sysctl.conf: hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=1 So that on boot it gets 'enabled'.
