If power management happens to interfere in an unwanted manner, then
first you should try to change its behavior by means of dtpower. As
this utility frequently fails to work (as intended), you should first
have a look at power.conf(4) and then edit /etc/power.conf by hand.
Another easy way to get rid of power management would be to  #
"rem_drv pm" it driver. But there is more to your question, than just
power management, as you can see in a thread from last week:

if a laptop does an auto-shutdown when closing the screen, there is usually
a BIOS menue to swoth off this feature.

[Alfred Peng]

If the laptop doesn't support power suspend/resume yet or the action for 
"When laptop lid is closed" in power management preference isn't set to 
suspend/shutdown, the laptop should run continuously in this case.
