display power
can someone tell me how to stop FreeBSD (4.11) from turning off my monitor (after whatever preset timeout there is)? it's messing my monitor up because it takes my monitor about an hour to stabilize the display after being turned off - and i can't afford a new monitor right now. until it is warmed up, it squiggles all over to the point where nothing can be seen or read on the display. thanks ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Incidentally, a monitor like that can be a fire hazard. Replace as soon as possible. It shouldn't be hard, because people are giving away used CRTs now. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Something like: xset -dpms in .xinitrc should do it. Incidentally, a monitor like that can be a fire hazard. Replace as soon as possible.

This works for me. xset -dpms; xset s off And back on with the reverse: xset +dpms; xset s on --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
