Hello!
I am using Lubuntu 18.04 64bit with a radeon hd4650 video card and I'm
using a monitor on vga port and a tv on hdmi.
I am trying to enable dpms settings only for the vga monitor while
disabling it for the tv-hdmi
I did some searches around and came up with this solution: create a
10-monitor.conf file to put in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with the
following text
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI-0"
Option "RightOf" "VGA-0"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "VGA-0"
Option "LeftOf" "HDMI-0"
Option "DPMS" "false"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "StandbyTime" "1"
EndSection
I used the same identifiers xrandr uses
I have set a low standbytime so it's easier to check if it works or not.
At the moment it doesn't work at all, not even in the tv-hdmi output, but
the ServerFlags section does affect the system (as far as I know checking
with xset -q)
You can find my Xorg.0.log at https://pastebin.com/5KB16DJ0 , where I
noticed
[ 27.014] (==) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled
any suggestions?
I tried with xset but it affects both the monitors
Thanks in advance!
