ATI Technologies Inc Rage Mobility P/M (rev 64) video card How to power it off?

Hi

My Sony Vaio laptop has a strange problem. It has the ATI Technologies
Inc Rage Mobility P/M (rev 64) video card, and first of all X was really
hard to make work. Only the latest 4.5 works fine with this, and some
old ones, like 4.0 or 4.2. My disribution was Sarge Debian, and it has
4.3 by default. That doesnt work at all at 1024x480 resolution. It was
all greyish even with the right modeline. ANyways, 4.5 works fine for
me. What is the problem, that when I go to suspend with ACPI (S3-RAM),
the display wont power off completely, just it gets dimmed, but some
text remains on the LCD. For the "untrained" eyes, it seems off, but
when I tilt the LCD, I can see it is on and has text on it. Also, it is
making a buzzing sound, so it eats battery. 

What can I do to turn off the display? Maybe I can inegrate the solution
to my suspend script, so that it turns the LCD off and then suspends.

THanks

Bence
