 |
|
Hi,
I have a trouble with turning off my LCD after some period of time.
| Code: | # cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "off time" "5" # Turn off after 5 min
EndSection
# grep OffTime /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) Option "OffTime" "5"
|
But, according to
| Code: | xset q
...
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 3600 Off: 7200
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
|
How to turn off my LCD after 5 mins? Thanks for any helping. |

| Your window manager (KDE, Gnome, etc.) is probably overriding the setting. Try looking in its configuration/control panel/etc. for power or display settings. Failing that you can run "xset dpms ..." to update the setting at runtime. I have a shortcut key bound to "xset dpms force off" so I can press a key when I walk away to put all the monitors into powersave immediately. |
