How to make Console DPMS works

Post by Kirys » 2013/10/08 06:37:17

Hi
Lately I've connected one of my server (centos 5.9 on a intel d510mo) to the same monitor of my desktop (the monitor has both dvi and vga ports).
The server is my dhcp/dns and reverse proxy for my home "lab", so it has no X server just the text console.
in the rc.local i've put:

/usr/bin/setterm -powerdown 5 -blank 4 -powersave powerdown

But anyway the server doesn't seems to turn off the monitor, so any time the desktop turn off the monitor the monitor switches to the vga and turn back on.

Is there anyway to allow it to turn the monitor off?

Thank You
K.
