SUMMARY: xset blanking delays occur in series not parallel xset dpms 30 60 90 means a total of 180 sec before monitor off thus xset dpms 90 60 30 should also be legal -- but it is not Hi! $ xset dpms <seconds> <seconds> <seconds> sets the delay before X turns your monitor to standby mode, to suspend mode, and then off. Pretty simple. Seems to work fine too. Sample output: $ xset dpms 30 60 90 $ while true; do echo "`date +%T` `xset -q | grep Monitor`"; sleep 10; done 00:59:01 Monitor is On 00:59:11 Monitor is On 00:59:21 Monitor is On 00:59:31 Monitor is in Standby 00:59:41 Monitor is in Standby 00:59:51 Monitor is in Standby 01:00:01 Monitor is in Standby 01:00:11 Monitor is in Standby 01:00:21 Monitor is in Standby 01:00:31 Monitor is in Suspend 01:00:41 Monitor is in Suspend 01:00:51 Monitor is in Suspend 01:01:01 Monitor is in Suspend 01:01:11 Monitor is in Suspend 01:01:21 Monitor is in Suspend 01:01:31 Monitor is in Suspend 01:01:41 Monitor is in Suspend 01:01:51 Monitor is in Suspend 01:02:01 Monitor is Off 01:02:11 Monitor is Off 01:02:21 Monitor is Off 01:02:31 Monitor is On ^C $ Note that it took exactly 30 seconds to reach standby, 60 seconds AFTER THAT to reach suspend, and then ANOTHER ADDITIONAL 90 seconds before the monitor turned off. Great, I get it, now I know how to ask for what I really want. So! Suppose we want X to wait three minutes before standby and then 30 seconds each before suspend and off? $ xset dpms 180 30 30 illegal combination of values standby time of 180 is greater than suspend time of 30 Oh no! OK, this is not of earth-shattering importance, but on the other hand it should be really easy to fix.
