Here is the problem: http://www.daemonforums.org//showthread.php?t=7014

Now, I run FreeBSD with my laptop and I hope I can turn off the screen without closing it.

# vidcontrol -t 15

That turns on the console screensaver with a 15-second timeout. xset(1) can do similar things under X.

In FreeBSD I have set my screen to used

Code:

#sysinstall

Configure>Console>Saver>Green
as well as set a desired time out in the Saver options.
