Re: Laptop screen is blanking out

Low tech solution: did you try to fiddle with the switch in the lid that 
switches the screen on and off when opening and closing the lid? works for me 
when apm messes up a little, both under X and in console.

Laptop screen is blanking out

2002-11-04 Thread Nathan Fain 
Short desc.: Screen blanks out and then keyboard and mouse will not work.

I have a laptop whose screen will blank out after five minutes of no 
movement of the mouse or keyboard.  When I move the mouse or press a key 
the screen comes back but the keyboard and mouse will not work (though 
processes continue to work.)  This happens in the console (X is not 
running on the machine).   I'd appreciate any suggestions or inclusion 
of other lists I could query.  

I've tried the following in troubleshooting and nothing has helped so far:
* Checked this w/apmd (even though it is an ACPI machine) up and with it 
down.  I've also tried it with ACPI support and the acpi management 
daemons for 2.4.x.  
* There are no options in the Compaq n610c bios and to turn this off no 
bios updates
* and this feature, in fact, doesn't *appear* to be controlled by the 
BIOS as it does not happen in the windows installation on the machine. 
I've also tried setterm -powerboot, setterm -powersave
setterm -powerdown
setterm -blank

Laptop: Compaq Evo N610c w/2.2.18 and 2.4.19 kernels

In addition
* I've tried reinstalling the 2.2 kernel without apm support and the
problem (the screen blanking after 5 minutes and then keyboard/mouse not
working after) still occurs

Also, made a type with my setterm statements.  What I tried was:
setterm -powersave off
setterm -blank 0
setterm -powerdown 0
