You mean *was*, right? Notice that OSX does disable the backlight though, right? That's because a PowerBook can't cool itself properly while it's closed. We'll try to see what can be done about the external display though. Which model is it exactly?

I can do it right now with my Macbook Pro, with, ehm, recent OS 10.9

Kronos(?) told me a trick for that once. But i am old and can't remember. I believe you had to close the lid early during startup.

This only worked up until version MorphOS 3.11. With the introduction of the extended dual-monitor support in MorphOS 3.12, this functionality sadly got lost. At least for the time being.
