 |
|
Hi, I am having trouble configuring my monitor's power settings.
I am using xorg-x11 6.8.2-r2.
I don't have xscreensaver, acpid, or apmd installed.
I inserted an 'option "DPMS"' into my xorg.conf and it worked like I wanted it to for a while (i.e. blank after 5 mins, suspend after 20 mins).
but now(I don't know what option i changed if any) it doesn't blank or suspend my monitor.
Here is my xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
EndSection
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/sharefonts"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/terminus"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/artwiz"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Proview 17"
HorizSync 30-75
VertRefresh 50-120
Option "DPMS"
Modeline "1280x1024@64" 125.36 1280 1312 1784 1816 1024 1044 1055 1076
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Radeon 9500 Pro (Sapphire)"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "ATI Radeon 9500 Pro (Sapphire)"
Monitor "Proview 17"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024@64"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection |
I didn't know what other files would be relevant but I can provide any other information if need be.
Basically, I want to be able to blank and suspend my monitor without installing xscreensaver (and preferrably not acpid or apmd).
thanks for looking. |

| it seems all the options do the same thing. That is they all suspend my monitor.. Any idea how to just blank it, so that the slightest tap of the mouse snaps it back instantly. I like it to do that after a few minutes and then later suspend it. If not, i'll survive without it or break down and install xscreensaver. thanks |

Remove the DPMS stuff from your xorg.conf. And add this to ~/.xinitrc
