Yes. Blanking works, it suspends (not to disk), and the external monitor
powersaves.
All of the above fail with l-con90. The only problem I have with plain
.109 is when I return form dosemu, the screen is not what I left, and
the cursor is not at the end of the screen contents, so I have to do
'clear'.
FWIW, the old vesa blanking stuff seemed to have an interaction with
APM, so only certain settings of suspend time worked. If it was too
short, the screen would blank and wake up again repeatedly. Scott called
it a buggy bios, but I think the APM docs are screwed and the
implementing code follows. But I can't find anything either :(
