power off lcd display

<< < (2/2)

Kj4bnh:
Hi Rich, Yes I meant >/dev/console, typos.  And yes to waiting ten minutes.
I hope that I/we can resolve this issue so can use Core to replace another live-cd that I am using now.  I believe this is the final hurdle.  Rock on, Jim

Rich:
Hi Kj4bnh
I suggest you install the  Xlibs.tcz  extension and then try the command in my original response again.

Kj4bnh:
Hi, loaded Xlibs and getting "unable to open display" when using xset dpms force off.  No joy.

gerald_clark:
Xset works on your X display.  Aparently you are not running X.

Kj4bnh:
I have migrated to Tiny Core 5.3, screen turns off like I wanted.  Low overhead using 20MB of ram.  Someday I will figure which extension and commands power down the display by comparision.  Rock on.
