right now - no. it's actuallly something i'd like to add. along with have e auto-suspend after screen is "blank" for more than N seconds. now for UNLOCKING... that's not something easily done as any key in x will then wake the "screenlock/dpms" up. there is no way i know of to keep dpms enabled when keys are pressed and only have it manually controleld via x clients. as for backlignt/dim stuff. i have found some devices have backlight controls but they just dont work. specifically this samsung laptop on my desk. /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/XXX/brightness is what e's backlight control will use if xrandr doesnt offer backlight controls via x11. XXX is acpi_video0 if it finds that OR is the first directory that has brightness and max_brightness and where max_brightness is > 0. this samsung laptop lets me echo any value to the brightness file (Thats how you control it) but brightness just doesnt change. the /sysfs file tell sme the value i set and adjusts as expected but backlight itself doesnt change at all. e_backlight_main.c is the tools e builds for doing this "swizzling". oh note.. e installs this as suid-root. do your packages remove the suid root bit? it needs to be suid-root to modify the backlight. > Howdy All, > > Two questions this morning.
