With the screensaver disabled the display "blanks out" but I can still see that the LCD is on from the backlight. I also tried in the terminal "xset dpms force off" which worked in Fedora Core 3 but not in Suse, again the screen just blanks out but the backlight is still on. Please help me save some wear n tear on my display, any info would be appreciated thanks.
