Interview with Mike Larkin. We talk about ACPI and OpenBSD.

Note: Shortly after recording this, OpenBSD added support for the "machdep.lidsuspend" sysctl. By setting this to "1", your machine should suspend automatically when the lid is closed. By default, OpenBSD will always resume when the lid is opened. This sysctl works for most ACPI machines that have a "LID" ACPI object.
