Re: [gentoo-laptop] turn off laptop monitor when closing lid

[Pierre Guinoiseau <songoku38@gmail.com>]

Hi

Try with sys-apps/vbetool, it work for me :)


- /etc/acpi/default.sh :

#!/bin/bash

group=${1/\/*/}
action=${1/*\//}

case "$group" in
  button)
    case "$action" in
      power)  /sbin/init 0
              ;;
      lid)    /etc/acpi/actions/toggle-display.sh
              ;;
      sleep)  /usr/sbin/hibernate-ram
              ;;
      *)      logger "ACPI action $action is not defined"
              ;;
    esac
    ;;

    *)      logger "ACPI group $group / action $action is not defined"
    ;;
esac


- /etc/acpi/actions/toggle-display.sh :

#!/bin/bash

LID_STATE="/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state"
LID_OPEN="open"
LID_CLOSED="closed"

if [[ "$(grep ${LID_OPEN} ${LID_STATE})" != "" ]]; then
  logger "Switching on Display"
  /usr/sbin/vbetool dpms on
elif [[ "$(grep ${LID_CLOSED} ${LID_STATE})" != "" ]]; then
  logger "Switching off Display"
  /usr/sbin/vbetool dpms off
fi
