Dear All,
I usually operate my Gentoo netbook with one of two external monitors plugged into its VGA output:
- an LG Flatron W2234S; or - a Samsung SyncMaster 710N.
I'm also usually running xscreensaver with the following options (among others)
timeout: 0:02:00 cycle: 0:01:00 lock: True lockTimeout: 0:00:00 passwdTimeout: 0:01:00 dpmsEnabled: True dpmsStandby: 0:05:00 dpmsSuspend: 0:05:00 dpmsOff: 0:05:00
The netbook's built-in screen and the Samsung monitor switch off after five minutes like these options tell them to. But the LG monitor stays on, advising me to "check signal cable". Any ideas how I can get the LG monitor to obey the DPMS commands, please?
