Plug & Play Monitors?

[Steve Holmes]

I'm aware of screen blanking but I was thinking more of the "power saving"
feature of these newer monitors. I wonder if that is possible under linux?
Those things can heat up quite a big when left sitting around all day. I
know, there is the power off button:) but I'm just trying to do the same
thing those windows boys are doing. Once in a little while, windows
actually comes up with something nice:)
