I just tried using the APM functions in the kernel, in the hopes of using the APM bios to shut off the display. The XFree86SVGA X server appears to understand the bios calls, as it turns the display on and off correctly; however, the console driver gets confused. (Interestingly, moving the mouse with GPM running spews out even more APM warnings.)
