Turning off backlight of TFT display

[Stefan Bellon <sbellon@sbellon.de>]

Hi all!

I've a question concerning the backlight of the notebook's TFT display:
How can you turn it off after a certain period in order to act like a
screen (and energy!) saver?

With "apm -s" the notebook suspends properly, so this does work.

With the other operating system the screen saver turns off the
backlight as well.

But how do you do this under GNU/Linux?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

Stefan.
