AFAIK you cannot. Well, unless your mouse can be disconnected that is. |

But you could do "xset dpms 0 0 5", which would turn off the display |
13 |
after 5 seconds of inactivity. So if you touch the mouse, the display |
14 |
will come back on, but then it will turn off again in 5 seconds. You |
15 |
can also set the screen brightness to minimum, to minimize the power |
16 |
draw when it does turn on. |
