-dpms The -dpms option disables DPMS (Energy Star) features.
+dpms The +dpms option enables DPMS (Energy Star) features.
dpms flags...
The dpms option allows the DPMS (Energy Star) parameters to be set.
The
option can take up to three numerical values, or the `force' flag
followed
by a DPMS state. The `force' flags forces the server to immediately
switch
to the DPMS state specified. The DPMS state can be one of `standby',
`sus
pend', `off', or `on'. When numerical values are given, they set the
inac
tivity period (in units of seconds) before the three modes are
activated.
The first value given is for the `standby' mode, the second is for
the
`suspend' mode, and the third is for the `off' mode. Setting these
values
implicitly enables the DPMS features. A value of zero disables a
particu
lar mode.
I've done:
xset -dpms
to turn off all energy saving stuff.
