Maybe, b.   For example, apmd(8) is nearly i386 specific, but it's in
src/usr.sbin tree.

There are two ways.

1. Use pcvt(4) console and enable screen blank function.  But pcvt(4)
   can't turn off display's power.

2. Run X Window system and enable screen saver.  This may turn off
   display's power if the display controler and display are supported.
