This is a small tip but that i found usefull if you want to spare some
energy.
On my multimedia server, i need to force screen to shutdown when
i quit the xserver and not wait for timeout and in the other way i need
to start it before starting X.
To do this you can simply use the "vbetool" command:
- "vbetool dpms off" will stop your screen.
- "vbetool dpms on" will start it back.
Using this i force my LCD screen to shutdown when i am done looking
TV but my computers continue to run (to host my website or record TV
shows later for example).
