Another message from the "when did this stop working?" camp: I've had the following in my /etc/rc.local for a while: setterm -blank 10 setterm -powersave powerdown setterm -powerdown 15 Now what this does is put the monitor into the black-but-still-glowing mode after 10 minutes, then shut it off after 15. I have no idea when, why, or how, but it stopped working. I use this on 2 machines that don't run X, so using 'xset' is not an option, but I *think* xset works fine. Does anyone else know much about this? The internet is fairly silent on the topic
