Package: vbetool Version: 1.1-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I useMAte, orca, and so on * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? 1. Open a terminal 2. Type vbetool dpms off 3. The screen is off. Next, vbetool dpms on screen is on again 4. I close my laptop, it sleeps 5. I open it and start it 6. I have my desktop with screen on, even if I choosed dpms off in previous step 7. So I type again vbetool dpms off * What was the outcome of this action? The screen stays on, not off. I tried installing or not screensaver, not difference. * What outcome did you expect instead? Screen should stay off or vbetool dpms command shoule make it off again. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** Thanks. Is there an alternative to make screen display nothing? Useful for me as I am blind so screen useless and I would like to save battery Regards -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vbetool depends on: ii libc6 2.24-5 ii libpci3 1:3.3.1-1.1 ii libx86-1 1.1+ds1-10 vbetool recommends no packages. vbetool suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
