Hello everyone,

I hope I am in the right branch for this post.
I have been trying to disable the screen of my laptop that serves as my NFS file server for several days.
I found how to bypass the XDM login screen by installing Xorg but it does not turn off by default after 600 seconds.

How should I do please to reduce this delay to 60 seconds?

The solution would be to turn off the screen at startup but how can I disable the screen of my laptop at boot because I do not need it, there is no switch or fn key to disable it and in the bios there is no solution ?

Thank you.

Best regards.
 
I burned my ThinkPad`s W520 screen in similar fashion ... i know if i logged to xorg and close the lid - screen turns off, if i have only tty - it wont.
If you dont need screen at all - i would find bios settings for external monitor and use it as primary monitor instead of laptops screen until you find solution.

EDIT: my xorg on PC turns off both monitors after 5 or 10min automatically
P.s. try this ( i know its Arch linux, but its for Xorg settings) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Display_Power_Management_Signaling

xset dpms force off
