The terminal's powerdown state will only take effect once the terminal is blanked, so if your blank time is more than 3 minutes, your monitor will shutdown only after blanking kicks in. This effectively shuts down my monitor after 1 minute of inactivity: setterm -powersave on -powerdown 1 -blank 1 -- There's a utility I saw (but never used) which offers another, cruder way to force the monitor to enter DPMS state: http://freshmeat.net/projects/vbetool/ (Of course it probably won't exit the state on a simple keypress so be ready to type-in the unblank command blindly.) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
