[gentoo-user] DPMI screen blanking on *TEXT CONSOLE*?

[Walter Dnes]

  There are two types of screen blanking.  One mode is fake, with the
lcd backlight being left on.  A black foreground is placed over top of
everything.  In X, there is a DPMI option to really power down the LCD
backlight.  What is the equivalant on a textmode console?
