Hi. I have a 17 inches DPMS capable CRT monitor (a SyncMaster 750v). I use Enlightenment 17.
I have already set timeouts in Enlightenment for the monitor to go to Standby, Suspend and Off. However: 1) The timeout sometimes is ignored for no apparent reason. 2) More importantly, I would like to be able to put the monitor to standby "now". I have bound <control><alt>l to the desk_lock action, so I lock the screen before leaving the computer. It would be better if not only the screen was locked but also the monitor entered standby. I remember I could do that with "xset dpms force standby", but nowadays if I try that, the screen blanks for half a second and immediately goes back to normal. I remember that the power management of xlock conflicts with "xset dpms force standby", causing that; but xlock is not running any more. Probably, this time it is Enlightenment itself that is conflicting with xset. In fact, xset appears to work if I uncheck "Enable Display Power Management" in Enlightenment. So: 2.1) Can I make Enlightenment and xset go along? 2.2) Or even better, can I use Enlightenment itself to make the monitor enter standby immediately? 2.3) Or my only hope is to disable "Enable Display Power Management" and then use only xset? I would also need some timer script to make the conitor enter standby after a time, fulfilling the role of "Enable Display Power Management". I would prefer one of the two solutions above.
