Switching off monitor



Hi all

Up to now, I have used either `vbetool dpms off` or `xbacklight -set 0` to
turn off the display. On my system with a fresh install of Bulseye this fails:

$ sudo vbetool dpms off
mmap /dev/zero: Operation not permitted
Failed to initialise LRMI (Linux Real-Mode Interface).

$ sudo xbacklight -set 0
RANDR Query Version returned error -1

I'm working on the console (TTY) and am using Tmux, hence neither xset nor
setterm work for me. Maybe someone can recommend a different approach, before
I file a bug report :).

Thanks
Sebastian
