Hello,
I know people have asked in the past about blanking the screen on a
Jammin 125. Jim McQuillan happened to bump into Keith Packard (xfree86
guru) and Keith suggested turning on DPMS -- how simple. Well low and
behold it worked!
Here is a quick review of what I did.
Open /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/rc.setupx in your favorite editor.
Search for the following section of code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync ${X_HORZSYNC}
VertRefresh ${X_VERTREFRESH}
EOF
Add the following line between "VertRefresh" and "EOF"
Option "DPMS"
When you are finished it should look like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync ${X_HORZSYNC}
VertRefresh ${X_VERTREFRESH}
Option "DPMS"
EOF
Save your changes.
Power cycle the workstation and wait 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of
inactivity your monitor should go into power save mode. There is a more
information about DPMS settings at this site:
http://barriebremner.com/xfreedpms.html
Changing rc.setupx in this manner will turn on DPMS for all your LTSP
clients. I'm sure Jim will release an updated ltsp_core with an option
to turn on dpms vi lts.conf, but I thought I would share this quick hack
with everyone -- it made my day!
Regards,
--
