Bug#602157: xscreensaver: Please power down the monitor after blanking the screen

2011-01-09 Thread Jamie Zawinski
Sure, that sounds reasonable.  I'll change it to power down the monitor when 
blanking and mode is "Blank Only".  (I think it makes the most sense to do this 
at "blank" and not "lock".)

Bug#602157: xscreensaver: Please power down the monitor after blanking the screen

2010-11-01 Thread Piotr Engelking
Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.11-1+b1
Severity: wishlist

With the 'mode' option set to 'blank', 'xscreensaver-command -lock'
paints the screen black, but the monitor remains on. Please consider
powering the monitor down, which would eliminate unnecessary light
emission (as well as greatly reduce energy consumption).

Notice, that the current power management options are not useful in
this case, since they do not distinguish between the X session in
actual use, when I need the monitor on (for quite a long time, at
least), and locked, when the monitor could be powered down quickly.
(Not even mentioning the fact that they tend not to work at all,
as the X server does not bother accounting for the mouse jitter.)
