I've been using the attached script to have xscreensaver turn the lcd
off instead of just the normal blank (turn all the pixels black, but
keep the lcd on).

I put the script in /usr/local/bin and then added the following to the
'programs:' section of ~/.xscreensaver:

"lcd saver" lcdsaver.sh \n\

I also had to change perms on /dev/pmu to allow my mortal user to use
fblevel (I actually just changed the group).
