This is the pmset -g output:

Code:
System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
 standby              1
 Sleep On Power Button 1
 hibernatefile        /var/vm/sleepimage
 powernap             1
 networkoversleep     0
 disksleep            0
 sleep                1 (sleep prevented by powerd)
 hibernatemode        25
 ttyskeepawake        1
 displaysleep         1
 tcpkeepalive         1
 lowpowermode         0
 womp                 0

I make the the switch to mode 25 because I want to cut any network activity when the lid is closed. And this works good and without any problems. But it has a side effect: The hot corner shortcut "Put display to sleep" doesn't work correctly in my opinion. Instead to just to power off the display only, the system fell into hibernate every time the "Put display to sleep" command is taken.

Is there any alternate way to put the display (and only the display) to sleep?
