If you need to do that, then the video driver is not properly handling your system and display combo across suspend/resume. You should also go ahead and file a bug with the driver author of your video card. > > My script is 02dpms and it is in /etc/pm/power.d/. > However, on resume the output is the following: > xset: unable to open display "" Yeah, pm-utils knows nothing about X, and we prefer to not teach it about X -- it makes it too easy for X video drivers to not handle suspend/resume correctly, and we already have enough fun trying to handle video quirks when X is not involved. > which means that xorg is not ready to accept that command.

Your script will need to be smart enough to figure out all the X related stuff it needs on its own (the DISPLAY env variable, any authentication/security stuff it needs, figuring out whether X is actaulyl running, and so on) -- pm-utils does not have any canned functionality that will help you there. > Thanks in advance, > Pedro > _______________________________________________ > Pm-utils mailing list > Pm-utils@lists.freedesktop.org > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-utils _______________________________________________ Pm-utils mailing list Pm-utils@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-utils
