A kernel extension to disable 'sleep on close'
Authored by: vocaro on Mar 11, '05 02:17:01PM
I know how hot the left-side of my 12" PowerBook G4's palm rest gets during use, and I know I wouldn't want all that heat going directly towards the LCD.
This is not a problem with my 1.33GHz PowerBook G4. At work, I hook it up to an external mouse, keyboard, and display and run it all day long with the lid closed. No heat issues at all, for nearly a year and counting.

Me too. I run all day every day with the lid closed and it's never been a problem. I also do a lot of compiling and numerically intensive work on my laptop so you can rest assured that this is safe even under heavy CPU loads.
