Hi Nik,
Until someone gives a real answer, try playing with these:
xrandr
redshift [1]
dcop ??
use a script to suspend the display? [2]
Maybe that'll help?,
Michael
[1] Some old code from when I was playing with redshift:
RedshiftFullInfo=$(redshift -pv)
echo -e "Full:\n $RedshiftFullInfo\n"
RedshiftCurrInfo=$(redshift -p)
echo -e "Curr:\n$RedshiftCurrInfo\n"
echo
Temperature=$(echo "$RedshiftCurrInfo" | grep -i 'Color temperature:' |
awk '{print $3}')
echo "Temp: $Temperature"
Brightness=$(echo "$RedshiftCurrInfo" | grep -i 'Brightness:' | awk '{print
$2}')
echo "Bright: $Brightness"
[2] I attach this to an icon in my panel.
# cat goodnight
#!/bin/bash
dcop kdesktop KScreensaverIface lock
sleep 3
xset dpms force standby
