Dell M4400 && power-off the display on Lid close (8-CURRENT / Xorg)

[Matthias Apitz-4]

Hello,

I'm running 8-CURRENT and Xorg on the above mentioned laptop.

I'd like to have powered off the display on Lid close, and powered on
again on open; I watched the devd(8) events in both cases:

close:
setting system=ACPI
setting subsystem=Lid
setting type=\_SB_.LID_
setting notify=0x00
Processing notify event
...

open:
setting system=ACPI
setting subsystem=Lid
setting type=\_SB_.LID_
setting notify=0x01
Processing notify event
...

but they are not estimated in /etc/devd.conf. Any hint for a good
devd.conf entry to make that working? Thx in advance

Btw: I don't want suspend/resume.

Try this:

notify 10 {
        match "system" "ACPI";
        match "subsystem" "Lid";
        action"$PATH_TO_YOUR_SCRIPT $notify";
};

And in your script you turn off the backlight with
xbacklight -set 0
when notify is 0x00 and
xbacklight -set 100
for 0x01.

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@...>, 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

I call this on lid events which works even when X isn't running. :-)

notify 10 {
        match "system"          "ACPI";
        match "subsystem"       "Lid";
        action "/etc/rc.lid $notify";
};

Are you loading acpi_video?

Even if you do, if you have a Radeon, I am not sure it will turn off the
back-light, but, if this is an issue, you can install the radeontool and
add the appropriate commands to devd.conf in addition to the sysctl.

With loading acpi_video it works now in console mode, i.e. the LCD goes
off and on on lid close/open. When I have X11 up and running (the Nvidia
driver), the LCD goes off as well, but on return I only see the console
message of the X11 startup-session (i.e. the console from where I
launched 'startx') and I'm unable to switch to any other virtual screen
and also not to the X11 session; zapping X11 with Ctrl-Alt-BS does not
work either and I have had to reboot with power-off/on.

Any idea? Thanks
