 |
|
Is there a way to automatically turn of the monitor on a non-X system? I have al old laptop (netbook), I noticed that the screen keeps on stand-by mode, not going totally off. I use this laptop as server, so I don't need any monitor.
On the internet I can't find any information about turning off the monitor without X.
For some info about my laptop:

-powersave <on|vsync|hsync|powerdown|off> |
Maybe retry 'powersave' with one dash. |
