On my Thinkpad, I use radeontool, which is radeon dependent. You did not mention the video chip in your laptop. This might lead us to what would be necessary for screen blanking. I initially thought xset might be the ticket but my first trials were not very successful. Using xset dpms force off blanks the screen but any keypress turns it on again. You might want to have a look at tuxmobil to see if anything is posted there. On my Debian installation, this came back from apt and might be something you want to look at: fnfxd - ACPI and hotkey daemon for Toshiba laptops toshset - Access much of the Toshiba laptop hardware interface toshutils - Toshiba laptop utilities Sorry I could not be of more assistance at this time. rdc -- Robert D.
