But if I open the lid, the screen powers off until I swap virtual consoles between X and normal consoles. So when I want the screen to turn off, I open and close my notebook twice. :-) There seems to be a message here that syscons and other bits need to learn more about dpms, and that acpi needs to provide the necessary events (and time) to the device tree to allow proper power management (and may not currently do that). This came up a number of times at the dev summit last week.

It varies from notebook to notebook. For example, on my Satellite 1605, I can find no way to do this through ACPI, DPMS, or any other means. On my Pavilion N5290 running Gentoo, there's a kernel module that handles it by twinking hardware registers. The Inspiron 8500 is a Compal machine if I remember correctly, and there's a very slight possibility that some of the utilities intended for other Compal distributors (Compaq, HP, Toshiba) might work. (The Linux omnibook kernel module works on two of my machines, both Compals, only one an HP.) You might get more information on this from the freebsd-mobile list, also. -Cliff L.
