Here's what I have set up on my Dell D600:
in /etc/sysctl.conf:
hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=1
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=NONE

and in /etc/devd.conf:
notify 10 {
        match "system"          "ACPI";
        match "subsystem"       "Lid";
        action                  "/etc/rc.lid $notify";
};

and /etc/rc.lid looks like:
sync && sync && sync

if [ $1 = 0x00 ]; then
        logger -t Lid Close at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`
        /etc/rc.suspend acpi 3
else
        logger -t Lid Open at `date +'%Y%m%d %H:%M:%S'`
        /etc/rc.resume acpi 3
fi


Hope that helps.
