I'd like to detect when the monitor is physically shut off by a user; I was hoping that DPMS would be the solution to my quest, but after doing xset +dpms and ensuring dpms is in the monitor section of my XF86Config (xfree 4.2.0 or thereabouts) it still doesn't report the state of the monitor correctly if I do a sleep 10; xset q , physically turning off the monitor after I hit enter. I can issue "xset dpms force standby" and it will go to standby, and "xset dpms force off", which will cause it to flicker off, then come back on about a second later of it's own volition, but I'm still no closer to a resolution of my problem =(
I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me. --Eric _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
