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). -- Adam Lazur, Cluster Monkey
