I recently have begun using the console much more on a slower machine and have noticed that setterm does not seem to work. I had set it in rc.local with "setterm -blank 15" and "setterm -powerdown 45", and while the screen will blank, it will never powerdown. I also tried doing it manually, just to see, by issuing the command "setterm -powersave powerdown" but this also failed. I have tried with the default Debian kernel and one I have compiled, with framebuffer and without, but nothing has worked. So far I just can't seem to get the monitor to powerdown. Does anybody have any ideas about what I may be doing wrong?
