I can probably manage to control blank screen savers but I would prefer to power down the displays to standby modes. The machines are those small size 'kitchen computer' VIA=20 based cubes (almost). The monitors are LCD displays. Are there ioctls to help with this? How do I go about it? All ideas welcomed. Malcolm Kay Dmesg --> Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
