that was a hack to allow "locking" of terminals as per management's requirements: http://mirtchovski.com/lanlp9/rlock/index.html
not really sure that's what Antonin was looking for. there is blanking for vga enabled displays (man 3 vga) but i'm not sure consoles can actually be blanked if there's no vga running on them. you can, of course, run aux/vga without starting rio and use the hardware blanker with a low blanktime. or you can also just unplug the monitor cable.
