Yeah, David Haller also told us about that, but it doesn't work, or at least not always.
see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1095700
Mind you, that was about three years ago, I guess it is time to go and try it again.
Back then, I tried it with this drop-in:
/etc/systemd/system/getty\@.service.d/powersave.conf
[Service] Environment=TERM=linux ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/setterm -powersave on >/dev/%I ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/setterm -blank 2 -powerdown 5 >/dev/%I
There shouldn't be any differences, but it has, and continues to work perfectly on Arch.
IIRC, in my bugreport there is talk about lack of graphics driver support. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland.
