Handy" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: "Green" Screensaver mode Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hey Folks! I've been to the archives, I've been to my esteemed vendor, and I've talked to a guru, and I've gotten nowhere (yet). I'm trying to get my monitor to kick into "green" screensaver mode when I leave it alone. The syscons version of this that is mentioned in /etc/sysconfig works great, lasts long time. I want to do it in X, however. I rummaged through the mail archives and I found that a couple people have done it, but not necessarily with my hardware. I went to the XFree86 FAQ and didn't find anything useful. I also fired off a question to the XFree -questions list. No word back yet. I have: 2.2-CURRENT STB 64 Velocity Video Card Nokia 447X Monitor ...I've seen people use 'options "power_saver" in the devices section of their XF86Config file, I've also seen (in the same post) some mention of using xset to set the timeout length and the appropriate mode. I haven't been able to get any combination of this to work on my configuration yet. Since I have been able to do it from the console, I'm convinced there's a way. Anyone have experience with something similar to this configuration? It's gotten personal for me. :-) Regards, Brian
