Sorry, I am not sure if this is what you are searching for, but I found this: ,---[ /etc/console-tools/config ] # screen saver/DPMS settings: all VCs # These settings are commented by default to avoid the chance of damage to # very old monitors that don't support DPMS signalling. [...] BLANK_TIME=5 BLANK_DPMS=off # Powerdown time. The console will go to DPMS Off mode POWERDOWN_TIME # minutes _after_ blanking. (POWERDOWN_TIME + BLANK_TIME after the last input) POWERDOWN_TIME=1 ` I have not idea if this uses setterm of something else to do what it does. Just have a look and try different settings ;) hth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

This should work: setterm -blank 1 setterm -powersave powerdown setterm -powerdown 2 setterm -store The screen does blank after 1 minute, but it does not power down after two (nor three) minutes. Could be because of kernel bug 12653. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12653 What else could be wrong?

Maybe, 'setterm' from the util-linx package does what you want. I haven't tried it myself. -- Regards, Jörg-Volker. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Turn off monitor after inactivity
Hi list My notebook’s screen turns blank when left inactive for a couple of minutes. I want it to turn off instead, and turn back on when I start typing. How do I achieve this? I have installed a base system and the laptop packages. Hoping for answers, -- Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
