Unfortunately, the monitors in slot-loading iMacs will not do standard
VESA blanking / DPMS. Even in MacOS, they only turn black (not off) when
monitor sleep is enabled.
In MacOS, the monitor does turn off when the computer is put to sleep.
There's no way to do this in Linux currently (the PowerBook pmu code
doesn't support sleep on iMacs).
