btw, as side note, if you need to blank screen at dtgreet screen, you can use following method: ------------------
I have successfully blanked the dtgreet screens for Sol 9 and Sol 10. I modified the Xsetup file copying it from the usr/dt/config directory to the /etc/dt/config directory. Then just after the "XDIR" variable setting I added the "$XDIR/xset +dpms" on one line to enable DPMS then on a second line issued "$XDIR/xset dpms 5 10 15" where the values are in seconds. This way I did not have to wait the 15 minutes before I could test the blanking. After a logout or when the system first boots the Xsetup is read for dtlogin/dtgreet this Xsetup file then comes into play. When a normal user logs into the system via dtlogin/dtgreet those users have their own display settings and those are read after the Xsetup so the users settings trump the Xsetup settings. Test this for yourself remembering to logout then wait for the screen to blank. ------------------------------------- Regards, _Kuntal Garrett D'Amore wrote On 10/25/06 15:17,: >More confirmation that dtgreet is involved.
