Hey All, I use synergy at home with my Linux desktop plugged into my monitor via dvi, and my laptop via vga. I have configured synergy to do an xset dpms force off when I tell it to switch to the laptop, which causes the monitor to switch to using the vga port and beings up the laptop- that works well.
The problem I am having is when my laptop also goes into powersaving after being in idle for 15 mins, I come back and move my mouse/keyboard - even though synergy is sending it to the laptop, my linux box also wakes up, and gets the monitors attention first. My question is, is there a way to "xset dpms force off" (turn monitor off, not dpms!) and not wake up on keyboard and mouse events, or wait a few seconds before waking? (so the vga connection has a better chance of getting the monitors attention first).
