Well "setterm -blank 1" should blank the screen after one minute. However, I now see what you mean; you want to power down the display, not just blank it. If apm or acpi or some such can't do it, you may be SOL. In debian, "apt-cache search apm" turns up lots of stuff, including wmapm (for Windowmaker; damn, X again). The same with "acpi" suggests wmacpi. I hear there's a kacpi (or somesuch) for KDE that might work for you. Augh! X again! Unfortunately, I'm just beginning to come up to speed on Linux on ppc so I can't offer anything more specific. You might check groups.google.com for "+linux +ppc +powerpc +apm +acpi" or something. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
