As indicated, attached source patch file puts some DPMS support into the Sun Creator/Elite driver for XF86, release 4.1.99(.1?)-CVS. The driver is in the Xfree source tree at (if I type all this right) xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/sunffb In that directory, the command patch -b < sunffb-4.1.99-DPMSMode.patch should successfully patch the files "ffb.h, ffb_driver.c, ffb_dac.c"; after that just 'make' in that directory should get you a new "sunffb_drv.o" (assuming you have already built everything once.) Now, with X inactive, go to wherever your existing drivers are (something like /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers depending on your configuration), save the existing sunffb_drv.o, and bring in the new one. To play with it, make sure that the already-working-with-your- Creator-card XF86Config file has the line Option "DPMS" "on" in its "Monitor" section, and restart X. "xset q" should now report that you can use DPMS, and you can play with it. Also, if you want, "xset s on; xset s blank" should now work. (If DPMS Option is not set, the driver will not enable DPMS, but you can change that behavior, of course.) Also, keep in mind Jon Leonard's note I sent you. I have no way of knowing if his remarks apply to your configuration or not. Good luck, Regards, Ferris -- Ferris McCormick (P44646, MI) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Phone: (703) 392-0303 Fax: (703) 392-0401
