Description

Power Management: Something should happen on closing the lid on a MacBook Pro. At the very least, the screen should be switched off.

> For the lid to operate suspend/resume set: `sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S3`

We probably need to make Power Saving opt-in and configurable in a preferences application.

> Just set # sysctl hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S3 **if you know** that ACPI state S3 (Suspend) works for you.

Could we get the information whether ACPI state S3 (Suspend) works for a particular machine from @linuxhw?
