I can turn off the screen with 
xset dpms force off
but that only works as long as I don't touch a key, of course any key
will resume the screen

On my T42p, I could run radeontool to turn the screen off altogether, as
a poor man's lock/screensaver.

Is there a way to turn off the LCD altogether with fglrx on that Z61p?

Thanks
Marc
