Hi there
I am trying to work out how to turn off my MBP screen, when it's connected to my TV (the screen keeps running, showing the movie on both, which is a little distracting and wasteful).
I googled my issue and the following article + link came up
Prevent your Macbook from sleeping when lid closed
versiontracker.com — It always has been a missing feature: disabling the sleep mode on a Apple Laptop. Who does not want to use it as a big juke-box or go warwalking. The best looking server ever, especially at about one inch height. This small utility is what you will want, this small utility acts as a wrapper to the Insomnia kernel extension, say hello to InsomniaX Aug 24, 2006
Anyone know whether this runs OK, doesn't kill the machine, creates a high temperature?
Also interested to know whether it still stops the computer from going to sleep when set via the apple menu, etc?
Any thoughts / experience, etc?
Thanks
