Use a black image to instantly blank an Apple LCD
Authored by: DylanMuir on Oct 14, '05 12:27:12AM

I spent a week or so trying to do this; what it comes down to is interfacing with the power plane of the IO system and telling the screen to shut off. From what I read (and tried) it isn't possible to do this without writing a kernel module. Seems crazy, but that's the way it looked. I'd be very happy for someone to prove me wrong...
