This works, as is expected. However, if I say: DISPLAY=:0.1 xset dpms 1200 2400 3600 Then it affects :0.0 as well (even though xorg.conf says that screen has DPMS disabled!). It should only affect the asked for display. Perhaps it should affect all displays if I was trying to talk to :0 rather than :0.0. Those not using zaphod mode, but using xinerama mode instead, obviously would have only the one DISPLAY, and thus xset should affect them all. The dpms timeouts are global to the X server, not per screen. Similarly, DPMSEnabled is a global boolean flag. I don't think there's a bug here. Well, it's a regression. You used to be able to say: Section ServerFlags Option Xinerama 0 # no blank because want right hand display to be lit all the time #Option BlankTime 60 Option BlankTime 0 Option StandbyTime 120 Option SuspendTime 180 Option OffTime 240 EndSection #the aatxth mimic display (not to be DPMS blanked) Section Monitor # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid Identifier Monitor0 ... Option DPMS false EndSection #the night assistant's terminal (to be DPMS blanked) Section Monitor # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid Identifier Monitor1 ... Option DPMS true EndSection (perhaps combined with DISPLAY=:0.0 xset s off in .xsession - at least, that's the setup I ended up with on and old system here) And have Monitor1 DPMS blank after 2 hours, and have the Monitor0 stay on and remain unblank. The best I can do now with the above xorg.conf is to have Monitor1 DPMS blank after 2 hours, and Monitor0 to remain DPMS on, but go blank. (so dpms isn't global, as it shouldn't be, because it is should be legal to plug different monitors with different capabilities in at the same time). So it looks to me that Xorg now blanks all screens when the server reaches the DPMS timeout. It should have blanked when it reached the screenblank timeout, which is disabled here, and shouldn't have blanked when it reached the dpms timeout, instead disabling the appropriate sync signals on the appropriately enabled monitors (not a global flag. Never has been, never should be). -- TimC However, my preamp still has a meat-driven knob. -- A. de Boer in ASR -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
