In my case, I don't want it to be triggered by switch. It seems like a bug ... my display is turned off after 10 minutes of activity unless my lid is closed (then it stays on indefinitely). I am pretty sure my display is turned off by my X server (see my xset output in previous email). Maybe I should report this as an X.org bug. > You will need to run some power manager such as the Gnome power > manager or the Xfce power manager, where you should find it easy to > configure what you want to have happen on a lid close.

Or I could simply run a third-party screensaver and configure it to turn off display after some inactivity. Or I can manually run xset dpms force off each time I know I am done with using laptop for a while. Thanks for the response. _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
