Perhaps your laptop's BIOS has an option so that when you close the panel/screen
your laptop goes into sleep by itself? This feature obviously doesn't require
Windows. I also know that some of the newer laptops and pretty much all
Toshiba made ones allow you to control your fan with the fan utility for Toshiba
Laptops. (Emerge toshiba-utils).

Hi,
Times at which I am not by my laptop I leave my laptop locked using 'xlock'. I know this isn't the best way because 'xlock' consumes many CPU cycles.
What is the best way to lock my laptop so that when I do resume work my laptop isn't at 75 degree celcius (My CPU fan doesn't seem to stop or slow down either).
Moreover are there any recent guides/docs to enable power management features on a laptop (I've already checked the Gentoo guide; Any other guides out there?).
Thanks,
Hareesh
