I think its very different. acpi doesnt work well on this laptop so I am stuck with apm unless I do a lot of work (apparently new definition tables are needed)
:0 is both the LCD and the CRT on this card - the radeon driver ties them together (resolution wise, maybe other functions) according to what I have read - however, xorg prior to 6.8.0 was able to blank the LCD when the lid was closed, and leave the CRT running (I use an external keyboard/mouse most of the time). I can use radeontool to turn off the backlight, but its awkward leaving the lid open when using it as a desktop - already dropped some paper on the keyboard giving it a momentary heart stopper.
