Hi All, Is there some way to blank the screen from the user space using a ioctl or something equivalent? I see that the video drivers do implement the blank/unblank interface to stop rendering of the image on the screen. These interface functions normally set the VSYNC to 0. For example in /<linux-src>/drivers/video/vgacon.c, I see the con_blank interface function called vgacon_blank being implemented. I would like to know how to get this interface invoked using a user space application or ioctl. These interfaces may be called by the power management APIs to save power by stopping the screen rendering. Thanks in advance, -Jinu -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
