SubjectRe: Blank console on keyboard request
   Date:   Fri, 19 Nov 1999 22:28:35 +0100
From: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz>

This patch adds blank console keyboard combination. This is usefull if
you want your monitor to consume less energy (primarily usefull on
notebooks to extend batery life).

I gotta ask; are there really that many notebooks that don't have a
built-in way of doing this already? (On the Vaio 505, it's Fn-D,
although it's one of the Fn- combinations that's not printed on the
keybaord.) And you can do this via a user-mode command, right; so is
it really that important to put this into the kernel's keyboard driver?
