Yes, 'zzz' works smoothly, while running X, and closing the lid also
suspends the system. It seems to suspend to RAM since it only takes a
second or two. The system reports that the webcam/video, usb, and scsibus

Thanks for replying. My problems with xidle turned out to be mostly caused
by a paused Mplayer, which disabled the screensaver. I also ended up doing
xset dpms 0 0 0 to allow xlock control over it.

figure the OpenBSD kernel to ignore the

sensorsd(8)'s "low" goes in the other direction. If I set "low" to 60C, it
will go off if the CPU is running at 50C. Sensorsd(8) isn't made for such
fine control as some of us would like.
If the battery is low, we want the sensor to alert us. If the temperature
is low, we do not want to be alerted
Another idea I forgot to mention is to use syslog, and pipe to scripts.
This would pretty much solve any issues with temperature and battery
monitoring... run every syslog of sensorsd and apmd through a script, and
forget using sensorsd for event commands.
It didn't occur to me to set up sensorsd(8) this way, although it makes
perfect sense now. This would also work well for battery monitoring.
Thank you
