How to configure power management?

[stevezsuzska]

Is it possible to configure power management in Puppy? Things like turning off the display after xx minutes. If so, I would be grateful if someone could tell me where it is.

Thanks, Steve

Turning off the display is easy. To turn it off after 3 minutes put this in the "ServerLayout" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and restart X.

Code: Select all

	Option      "OffTime" "3"

Things like suspend and hibernate are more complicated (I presume nothing has been done on it in 4.2?) because of things like network cards forgetting their IP address or not waking up or something. There have been scripts written for suspend at least, although they are quite hard to find.

xset -h
in a console will give further options....this command is normally found in /root/.xinitrc

Anyone know how to stop the framebuffer display from turning off?(blatant hyjack alert)

edit....for a laptop reducing the backlight brightness is a good power saver too...mine can still be controlled from the keyboard function keys

If all you want to do is stop the display from blanking after ten minutes,

Menu --> Desktop --> pupX set properties of X --> Screensaver

and uncheck "Enable screen saver".
