That sort of thing was driving me crazy for ages, screensaver would blank the screen, but not turn the monitors off. I finally tracked it down. In my case it was running SDL based programs, the fix is - export SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 That may or may not be your problem though. -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
