disabling/dimming the monitor

[Littlefield, Tyler]

Hello all:
I have a question. I'm going to be switching to my Linux box for 
full-time cli access for a while while I send in my laptop, and I was 
curious if there's a way to disable/turn the backlight way down. It 
would save me a lot of battery power to start with, but My eyes are also 
really sensative to the light, so having the monitor open and facing at 
it can give me some pretty bad headaches. Any ideas would be cool. I'm 
using arch at the moment, though I don't think that would matter much.

Take care,
Ty
