if not, there might be a way to tell your X to send the notebook screen
into dpms suspend mode. That would turn the backlight off and send
the screen to suspend which might do the trick. But sadly i have to
admit i have no Idea how to do that. At least it might help.
I'd be interested how you could get xinerama to do that trick though.
Cheers
