After google searching and coming up with the same information as in the Howto, I was about to give it up as a no go. Then I noticed in the article that in the xorg.conf portion the commands are:
But the command to turn off the monitor in the testing portion is "/usr/X11R6/bin/xset dpms force off", (which does work). I decided to change the command in xorg.conf from Option "DPMS" to Option "dpms", success the monitor now turns off :-) . My question is: is this typical? |
