I had this tip saved for a while now, which seems to work so far: <quote> One click monitor power-down for Linux By Alastair Otter 19 December, 2007 If you're running a Linux-powered laptop and you want to switch off the screen, without waiting for the laptop to go into sleep mode, then this is a great tip from Tombuntu. To switch the your monitor off use the command: sleep 1 && xset dpms force off. The sleep 1 (wait for one second) is needed only when you are typing the command in a terminal. This is because the command is executed as soon as the enter key is pressed, when it lifts up X turns the monitor back on. To turn this into a Linux desktop shortcut, right-click on your desktop and select "create new launcher". The "command" setting must be set to "xset dpms force off" (without the sleep 1). </quote> Regards, Joe1962 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
