Phil,

It's called 'clamshell mode'. You have to let the machine sleep when you
close the lid, then wake it up again from the keyboard:

DELL 2560 x 1600 monitor and would like to use the MBP with that and a
Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse but with the lid closed and the bugger just
goes to sleep when you do that. Can't find any way to stop it.
