6 Thanks, vbetool turns off the monitor perfectly, but I run into
7 problems getting it back on properly. From the vbetool man page:
8 "Switching dpms modes may interact badly with X on some systems." This
9 was the case for me. Can anyone recommend an alternative to vbetool
10 for turning off the monitor after an acpi lid close event that works
11 with and without X?
