Package request: vbetool
OK at least I found a manpage:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/vbetool
This tool on ubuntu lets me shut off the backlight on my laptop screen with
vbetool vbefp setbrightness 0
In alpinelinux it’s always on, even if I close the laptop lid. And the BIOS is not cooperative, hangs when I try to enter, so I can’t set it to APM mode or something either…
