Hi,

I have a Dell Inspirion 5150 running current from a few weeks ago and I'd
like to set it up so when I close the lid it doesn't go into suspend but
just turns off the display. I have set

hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S0

Which effectively stops the machine from suspending. But since the display
doesn't go off its putting out quite a bit of heat into a very small
inclosed space.



Regards,
Brad Davis
