Radeontool
radeontool is a hack to turn on and off the panels background light and external video.
Features
- turn background light on/off
- turn external video on/off
There's also a script called lightwatch.pl available at the project homepage that turns off the background light whenever xscreensaver blanks the screen and back on when unblanked. A more sophisticated version can be found here.
You may need to set
# chmod u+x radeontool
to use it as non-root user (/dev/mem problem).
