DPMS? How to make it stick?
|
|
Aargh! Once again an upgrade has broken something. Screensaver used to
work with MythTV for me but not after upgrading to 0.25. Seems DPMS is
now the way to go. So I added this to my xorg.conf but it doesn't seem
to be recognised at boot.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "StandbyTime" "2"
Option "SuspendTime" "3"
Option "OffTime" "4"
EndSection
I have confirmed DPMS does work if I manually do "xset -display :0 dpms
120 180 240" from the CLI. (Grr! HATE the fact that xset uses seconds
and xorg.conf uses minutes.)
I know Ubuntu is making xorg.conf less relevant over time but I can't
find what is over-riding or ignoring my serverflags entries. Anybody
know how to make this work, i.e., how to get X to take the customised
timeouts at boot? I suppose I can use xset in a startup script but that
seems like a bit of kludge to me.
