                          I have a laptop which I want to use only remotely via rdp (xvnc server). I have setup rdp successfully. As I only use the laptop remotely, I want to disable it's display. To do that, I have already disabled lightdm. However, now at boot it shows:

    Antergos Linux 4.14.15-1-ARCH (tty1)

I want to disable this display. However, I have no idea how to. I've tried:

    xset dpms force off

but that only gives an error that the display cannot be found. Is x server even still running? If so, how do I disable it and blank the screen (and disable the laptop backlight)?
