Public bug reported: I have a script in which I used: xset dpms standby 0 ; xset dpms suspend 0 ; xset dpms off 0
Today, when I run the script, I get: $ xset dpms standby 0 xset: unknown option standby [...synopsis of available commands...] $ xset dpms suspend 0 xset: unknown option suspend [...] However, reading the synopsis that is output after the error, I read: To control Energy Star (DPMS) features: -dpms Energy Star features off +dpms Energy Star features on dpms [standby [suspend [off]]] force standby force suspend force off force on (also implicitly enables DPMS features) a timeout value of zero disables the mode So standby and suspend are suposed to exist...
