I got a Chips and Technologies 65545 video card, with a 10"
TFT screen. I got APM enabled, but there's something wierd about that
(maybe 'cauze I messed too much with my hardware, who knows ...), because
if I set the panel-timeout to 2 minutes, it never blanks, but it does
blank when the timeout is 1 minute (I think it did that too under DOS, but
it has been a long time that I ran DOS on this thing). Now, I can live
with that, I guess, but I would be great if I could blank it from linux.
If I set the timeout to 10 minutes, and I wonna blank it, it doesn't do a
thing. Maybe I did some things wrong (and there has been sort of an
explanation, a while ago, about blanking, and what should be done to
really blank). Just repeat in a few words what I have to do. I think I
did try it the way that was then proposed, but that it didn't blank
either. Now, how can I get it to blank then? Search the code in the
APM-BIOS? Can I get it to blank when APM is disabled? (can I go to
lower-power-consumption when APM is disabled, can I get it to blank when I
chose to never blank my display (in BIOS)?)
