Shell sript to black the screen
Hi,
Attached is a script I have used for a long to make the screen black when I
dont need to have it (because I dont use the computer and listen to music, or
whatever). Blind people use it because they can save battery making the screen
black.
The problem now is that the script does not seem to work properly without
reasons. The situation has changed for some weeks. While it should black the
screen immediately, it does not. To have a black screen, I need to do
alt-ctrl-f1, then alt-f7. However, when I run the script while the screen is
black, it is lighted again immediately.
This script uses xrandr. The output is here:
Before script: <a href="http://paste.debian.net/1037969">http://paste.debian.net/1037969</a>
After the script: <a href="http://paste.debian.net/1037970">http://paste.debian.net/1037970</a>
After alt-ctrl-f1 then alt-f7 (black screen):
<a href="http://paste.debian.net/1037971">http://paste.debian.net/1037971</a>
Best regards</pre>
