Another message from the "when did this stop working?" camp:
I've had the following in my /etc/rc.local for a while: setterm -blank 10 setterm -powersave powerdown setterm -powerdown 15
Now what this does is put the monitor into the black-but-still-glowing mode after 10 minutes, then shut it off after 15.
I have no idea when, why, or how, but it stopped working. I use this on 2 machines that don't run X, so using 'xset' is not an option, but I *think* xset works fine.
Does anyone else know much about this? The internet is fairly silent on the topic
I've noticed DPMS to be a bit effed too for the past 4 days. I have DPMS "off" in every possible place in xorg.conf (I can never remember if its "device" "monitor" "screen" or whatever else), and I've also set "xset -dpms". In spite of all this, DPMS is still active, and its really pissing off when watching a movie. Varun
