have a work-around that works for me. Before starting up x11vnc, I run DISPLAY=:0 xset -dpms After my VNC session, I restore dpms DISPLAY=:0 xset +dpms Unfortunately, this wakes up the remote monitor, and disables sleep mode, but it works. YMMV.
Thanks - though I have seen postings elsewhere saying that it is possible to use vbetool dpms on or vbetool dpms off See "man vbetool" Apparently xset sometimes does not use the dpms system even though X is supposed to - maybe this is why the unexpected behaviour occurs after you have used those commands? I understand that vbetool runs bios commands so might not have the unexpected behaviour - it will be interesting to see any further replies on this - and maybe other suggestions for workarounds? -- mike cohler
