I am having an issue similar to that... where my PC
will NOT turn off or
screen will not go to sleep.
I accidentally lost the email but someone replied back said that HAL is no
longer being used sowhat do I install
tto make the screen turn off and standby after xx? I know that even if you
set all of that in the power options
nnothing happens and I hate to have to shutdown every night I am in XFCE
right now and can do all of that.
Thanks,
Chris
I solved the not-turnin-off-problem by replacing /etc/acpi/lid.sh with this:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
halt
exit 0
so in case TDE (or any other DE) fails to shut down propperly in 10 seconds,
the laptop is guaranteed to shut down.
The not-screen-blanking can be solved by using the Xservers dpms settings:
xset +dpms
xset dpms 60 90 120
you may want to look at xset manpages :-)
