Switching off a laptop LCD while in runlevel 3
Wonko| Tue 08 September 2009I use a Laptop as a Server (for Power consumtion reasons).
The system of course run in Runlevel 3. But without any X present the
LCD is never put to sleep by the xScreensaver.
To do this manually you can use the vbetools:
vbetools dpms off turns the screen off
vbetools dpms on switches the lights back on
