I might try Firefox. I imagine it would give identical results, but might be worth checking. Personally I use Debian/testing, nvidia drivers, i3, Firefox, and xset commands, and not noticed any issues (yet!). If anything I can have the opposite problem, a program, hidden, web tab, paused movie, etc can prevent the screen from turning off when I want it to turn off. I do tend to be watching more Disney+ then Netflix, but I would be be surprised if this matters. exec --no-startup-id xset s 180 30 exec --no-startup-id xset dpms 300 300 300 exec --no-startup-id xss-lock -n dim-screen.sh -l -- lock.sh Where dim-screen is just a (legacy) wrapper: # cat bin/dim-screen.sh #!/bin/bash exec /usr/libexec/xsecurelock/dimmer -- Brian May <[email protected]> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
