Is there any key kombination or terminal code that turns the display off? It should work like when you lock the screen: As soon as you move the mouse the display should turn on again (without the need of doing a login).

xset dpms force off
You can look at man xset
for more details. You can also set dpms
to standby
and suspend
, but I think how this works depends on your hardware.

would that also work if I would use fglrx(-updates) as my display driver? – Delta Nov 29 '14 at 17:59
