What I can tell you about that: It works - at least on Windows NT and 2000! We have implemented such a thing for a customer. Unfortunately, my Windows/Graphics-fu is not so good - so I had to use a proprietary library to do the real APM management for the different graphic chipsets. I ended up getting a (non free) device driver and a DLL that allows me to say "turn monitor signal on/off". What I implemented on top of that is changes to VNC/TightVNC to call that code at the appropriate time (upon connection etc.etc.) I can obviously not share the driver/DLL stuff. I can and will share the VNC addons, if somebody is able to do provide such a APM-knowledgable library.
