I have a launcher on my desktop and in my panel of type "Application in Terminal" with the command: xset -display :0 dpms force off
it turns off the backlight on the lcd.
does
xset -display :0 dpms force on
turn it back on?
Just move the mouse (or do anything else) to turn it back on.
I am having a problem while watching a film. The backlight turns off after some time eventhough I have set everything in the Screensaver settings to Never. It hapends no matter what video player I use. Any ideas?
