Hello I've got frequent pains with my monitors, that they don't go off when I expect them to after a 30' timeout (as set in the gnome power management options). First issue was (or was what I suspected to be) mplayer instances started by smplayer still hanging around, so I kill them regularly, but on top of that it seemed like I needed
*/10 * * * * /home/chris/bin/fix-dpms where fix-dpms is #!/bin/bash DISPLAY=:0.0 xset +dpms > /dev/null 2>&1 but now one of my computers simply wouldn't even blank the screen anymore (after the 10' timeout as set in the gnome screensaver options). t3:~# grep -i dpms /var/log/Xorg.0.log (II) Loading extension DPMS (II) intel(0): DPMS capabilities: Off; RGB/Color Display (==) intel(0): DPMS enabled which seems to look good for me. I'm pretty sure that when I reboot, it will work again, but I don't want to reboot every other day just because of this. So, how do I debug it? I have to admit that in this case, Xorg is running in a linux-vserver guest, but since at least blanking has worked till a couple hours ago, and the above log snipped seem to suggest there's another problem (and on my laptop without linux-vserver sometimes the screen still sometimes doesn't go off either), I'm still asking here.
