Perhaps this should go to linux-laptop, but I have a question regarding
blanking the screen on my Compaq LTE5300.

I receive the 'apm_bios: set display standby: Unrecognized device ID'
message on the console using 2.0.33.

How does the screen blanking differ from what xset would do? Or what the
default screen blank does? Apparently I can't get the display to shut off
like a normal monitor would. Is it supposed to?

Thanks,
Dave
