Hi All,
I love the package after having played with DSL and GRML. Hats off to the group.
I've booted off the LiveCD and found that the screen never blanks or jo into screen saving mode. I installed the "xset" package "xorg-xset-1.0.4.tazpkg" to try to understand this and this is what I found/did:
The command was invoked as follows:
sleep 3; xset dpms force standby
The other related commands also do not work:
sleep 3; xset dpms force standby
sleep 3; xset dpms force standby
I also try an experiment to redefine the intervals and to poll the state of DPMS using "xset -q" in a seperate window, as follows:
Window 1 xterm:
xset dpms 10 11 12
Window 2 xterm script (for monitoring):
while true
do
echo ""
sleep 2
xset -q
done
The above scripts shows that "xset" does indeed go through the various standby, suspend and off states at roughly 10 seconds(standby), 20 seconds(suspend) and 30 second points(off) BUT the monitor STAYS ON with a stable image :( I'm not sure if this is a hardware/motherboard issue with my Asus P5G41T-M motherboard (G41 integrate graphics aka x4500).
Here is the the listing for "lspci":
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset DRAM Controller (rev 03)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
