Monitor TURN-OFF instead of staying blank...? How?!

Phk

Hi there Gentoorians!

Can anyone please spend some time teaching me a simple and stupid thing?

How can i make my monitor TURN OFF after a certain period? Because, i use gnome, 2.6.7 kernel, blah blah, blah blah, and when the monitor goes off, it stays turned on, but with a blank image!! This makes it heat-up, consequently consuming some unnecessary energy. In a few words: Monitor's idle led stays green, instead of red

Please help me, and i'll thank you!!
