Hello guys!

I just updated my 2013 MacBook Air to OS X Yosemite, and I'm really enjoying the new look. However, one thing I'm not liking is that now every time I open the lid of my laptop, the screen comes on.

On Mavericks, running this command: sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0"

used to shut down the macbook's built-in display when starting the computer connected to an external display and with the lid closed.

It doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

Do you guys know any other possible solution? I don't want to keep the extra display on. I don't need it, and it's wasting resources.

Thank you
