For LCD displays, 0 will turn the backlight off. But that's not what
setterm -powersave controls. AFAIK there's no choice in how to blank the
fbcon display via setterm (are there blanking/powersave option hooks
exported by the framebuffer drivers we could use for this?). fbcon just
turns off backlight on LCDs, via atyfb_blank perhaps.
