There's hardware to make this happen, but it's not being used at
present. My initial guess was that it would require leaving quite a bit
of the display hardware enabled, which would draw a bit of power.
Re-reading that section of the docs, it's not clear. In any case, now
that we have decent power measuring equipment at the office, I'll hook
it all up and see what the power draw looks like.
