vidcontrol
(https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?vidcontrol(1))Thank you for your reply,You can enable a screen saver / timeout viavidcontrol
(https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?vidcontrol(1))
Also, check out saver and blanktime in rc.conf (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?rc.conf(5))
Some things to note:
- Avoid closing the lid. Many laptops aren't meant for this whilst they are on and may overheat
- Consider running Xorg and blank the screen there for the additional power management features that it (and the drivers) provide. This can help the machine run cooler.
I will think about it ;-)Worst case, use duct tape. (To hold a piece of cardboard over the screen)
Just SSH into the box, and then:I will think about it ;-)
But the problem is if I have to do a remote reboot my arm will never be long enough to go to the box !
% su root
# reboot
Thank you.you can suspend/resume your vga device with:
Code:devctl suspend vgapci0 devctl resume vgapci0
Note: you need to ssh into box as you can not resume display device from laptop itself
you can also check man 8 devctl for other options
devctl suspends vgapci0
devctl disable vgapci0
devctl detach vgapci0
echo "display.screen_off = 60000" >> /etc/wsconsctl.conf
CPU0: local APIC error 0x40
Just SSH into the box, and then:
That simple.Code:% su root # reboot
% su root
# shutdown -r now
