Re: Using powersave Features on monitor

[Sean <snmjohnson@iclub.org>]

But does that really send it into powersave mode?  When setterm blanks the screen,
the CRT guns are still running, as the back of the monitor is still warm to the
touch, whereas when Windows puts the monitor into powersave mode, the back of the
monitor becomes cool.
