I have a question about DPMS and gdm. I added the following lines to gdm's Init/Default script: xset +dpms xset dpms 15 30 45 (sleep 15; xset dpms force off)& xset q > /tmp/xsetq.out I'd like to turn the monitor off pretty soon after gdm starts. The "force off" line successfully turns off the monitor, but if I move the mouse or hit a key after that, it seems like DPMS never kicks in. The screen will go black at some point, but the monitor never turns off. I checked the contents of /tmp/xsetq.out, and it reports this: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 15 Suspend: 30 Off: 45 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On So it seems like it's being set properly. Does anyone have any suggestions?
