I have a Dell Latitude D610 at work. I don't use its own display very often but when I happen to do it is a bit annoying that the display does not turn on after the lid has been closed. When I tried to search for a solution I found a number of fixes for Linux but none for FreeBSD.
The fix on FreeBSD isn't that complicated. The display can be turned on again using DPMS. This requires a running X session to work.
Insert the following lines into /etc/devd.conf:
notify 0 {
match "system" "ACPI";
match "subsystem" "Lid";
match "notify" "0x01";
action "/root/bin/restore_display";
};
Then create a file called /root/bin/restore_display containing the following:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/logger Lid opened, restoring display
export HOME=/home/cfl
export DISPLAY=:0
/usr/local/bin/xset dpms force on
Of course you need to change the home directory to that of the user logged into X.
