 |

Hi Guys/Gals,
I'm running X on a Dell Latitude C610 and can use "xset -display :0 dpms force off" to turn off the screen and I'd like to do the same when I close the laptop lid.
My acpi script in /etc/acpi/lidbtn.sh is being kicked off successfully but the X server is denying the connection from xset.
If I su to root I can run the xset command just fine, and I use exactly the same command in the lidbtn.sh script. running "xhost +" will allow the lidbtn.sh xset to connect, but I don't want my display that accessible. I've tried xhost +localhost but that doesn't work, and neither does xhost +daikini (my hostname). Only "xhost +" allows the connection from the acpi run script.
Has anyone run into something like this before?
Thanks,
Anthony. |

Try,
What user are you running your ACPI script as? If it's a non-root user, say ACPI, then you can also try,
xhost supports both user names and host names. |
