 |
|
Guys,
what function, feature or process allows the lcd screen to switch off after so many minutes/seconds when in terminal only mode?
I am building a lappy via ssh and notice that the screen stays on all the time - even when lid shut.
I can see acpi events when I cat events in proc but I have not configured anything there yet.
is this a simple request or will it come as part of a package I have not yet installed - wanting to do a minimal install on this box.
(intel pentium m)
I don';t want to burn the screen and would be happy to just have it go black - even if its by closing the lid - but I know that requires power management.
