DPMI screen blanking on *TEXT CONSOLE*?

There are two types of screen blanking. One mode is fake, with the
lcd backlight being left on. A "black" foreground is placed over top of
everything. In X, there is a DPMI option to really power down the LCD
backlight. What is the equivalant on a textmode console?
