Display not turning off when using xrandr --output <display> --off. Instead it just turns black.
by bluesk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55SFY)
I have installed debian 10 on my surface 3. I am trying to turn it into a webserver so I don't need the display at all. I was previously using arch linux and using the command "xrandr --output <display> --off" turned it off as expected.
For some reason with debian, if I run that command the display turns black, but it's not actually off, it still emits a dim light. That is a problem for me since it increases power consumption of the device.
Please let me know it you software or hardware details.
Thank you in advance
