Blanking screen setting works now > independently. > I didn't find any other method. if dpms is set as well, then blanking is irrelevant (it covers up client windows with a big black window - done inside x itself). dpms turns the video signal off. if you enable blanking NOW you also get dpms set to the same timeout. thus your screen turns off. it SHOULD turn off - the same as if before you set dpms timeouts to the same as blanking timeouts and had both enabled. so back to my original mail - WHY do you want to blank the screen and NOT have dpms? you don't save any power. your screen is always on - maybe outputting almost nothing, but it's on. it's consuming power. i don't get it. the gui changed so you no longer can chnage it separately. this is the same thing gnome and so on do - they don't give you a choice. it's dpms always if it's enabled at all. i happen to agree that its overcomplicated and no point having 5 different sliders and checkboxes when 1 will do. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
