Hi,
I just installed Freebsd on a Dell Latitude C600 with 14" SXGA screen. It
needs to be on all the time so I need a way of turning the screen off.
I have played with sysctl hw.acpi.* thingies to get it to suspend. But none
of the power states only turn the screen off.
I want to get DPMS working so I can do "xset dpms force off" but it doesn't
work. Nothing happens and I get no console output. Are there any log
files?
"xset q" in a console in KDE prints:
Keyboard Control:
auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000
auto repeat delay: 250 repeat rate: 30
auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf

ffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffff
bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100

File paths:

Modules path: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
Log file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
"xset q" in ctrl+alt F2 console while kde and x are loaded prints:
xset: unable to open display ""
I have tried adding Option "DPMS" to my monitor section in the xorg.conf
Is there anyway to make DPMS work or is there another way of doing it?
Thanks
Paul
