FreeBSD vs. laptop features

[Matthias Schojohann]

Thank you very much - i commented the whole "lid" block out.
For the screen brightness: it doesn't seem to do much...also tried level
10, always stays the same.

If the brightness to 0 works, i could set that as an option :)

Am i missing something?
