xset q includes:
Screen Saver:
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes
timeout: 600 cycle: 600
...
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
Some of my installed Ubuntu 11.10 packages are:
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.10.4-1ubuntu4.2
libdrm-intel1 2.4.26-1ubuntu1
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.15.901-1ubuntu2.1
My Xorg log is at http://reedmedia.net/~reed/tmp/Xorg.0.log.txt
If my laptop lid is open and I don't type or use mouse the display turns
off in 10 minutes.
If my laptop lid is closed, the backlight will stay on.
I can turn off the backlight (even if lid is closed) with:
xset dpms force off
Any suggestions on how to get the display to turn off after ten minutes
of the lid being closed?
This is lubuntu. I don't have acpid installed. Nothing changes in
/sys/class/backlight when I do "xset dpms force off". I don't want to
watch /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state. I am hoping that something in
Xorg server can handle this.
Thanks,
