I was wondering if the same is possible without using X. I have a small debian testing server, located at my house, to which is naturally ssh. The server has a monitor attached to it, which is seldom used. I wish the monitor to poweroff when not used from locale console. A quick googled search led me to this page [1], where it is recommended to those not using X for their DPMS to set it using setterm(1). I've tested these configuration from my virtual console tty5, unfortunately with no success: <<< # no response setterm -powersave poweroff # let it run for 5min, no respone setterm -powersave on setterm -powerdown 3 $ ls /proc/acpi/ alarm dsdt embedded_controller event fadt info power_resource sleep >>> Any help will be highly appreciated.
