How to make Linux poweroff monitor after some idle?

kornerr · 12-22-2006, 12:48 AM

I'm using XFCE. I tried to set it in screen saver, but the only thing I get is screen saver and no monitor poweroff.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You might try adding...

Code:

Option      "blank time"    "10"
Option      "standby time"  "20"
Option      "suspend time"  "30"
Option      "off time"      "60"

to the ServerFlags section of your xorg.conf file.

X turns off monitor after 20 minutes by default
look at "man xorg.conf" - SERVERFLAGS SECTION

I added

Quote:

Option "OffTime" "1"
Option "SuspendTime" "1"
Option "StandbyTime" "1"

into ServerflagsSection, but the monitor doesn't turn off.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
