Quote (hawki @ July 17 2005,08:46) | Xfbdev --help
you will see that starting it with the option -s followed by a number should get it set and working. This doesn't seem to have any effect on my machine. There is also a command called xset that should be able to set the blanking timeout. It also seems to have no effect. |
After checking that help screen, it would seem that it your .xserverrc contained:
Code Sample | Xfbdev v -s 10 |
then it should use a blanking screensaver after a period of 10 minutes. You didn't mention the v or -v commands, but they're listed.
But ... it didn't work for me. I did get Xscreensaver working (thanks, NewOldUser) but unfortunately it doesn't include any blanking abilities. I actually need to turn my LCD panel off, and my BIOS is too old to have any power management functions of its own (with the exception of total standby which negates this machine as a web server).
Any more suggestions??
