if not, there might be a way to tell your X to send the notebook screen into dpms suspend mode. That would turn the backlight off and send the screen to suspend which might do the trick. But sadly i have to admit i have no Idea how to do that. At least it might help. I'd be interested how you could get xinerama to do that trick though.
