# Display Power Management Signaling (简体中文)

DPMS (VESA 显示电源管理信号，简称DPMS)是VESA制定的通过显示卡对显示器电源管理的标准。DPMS规定如果一定时间不对计算机进行操作时显示器自动进入节电模式。

## 在X中设定DPMS

Note: As of Xorg 1.8 DPMS is auto detected and enabled if ACPI is also enabled at kernel runtime.

在 `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` 的 `Monitor` 小节写上:

    Option "DPMS" "true"

把下面的配置加入 `ServerLayout` 小节, 必要时改变时间(以分钟计):

    Option "StandbyTime" "10"
    Option "SuspendTime" "20"
    Option "OffTime" "30"

Note: If the "OffTime" option does not work replace it with the following, (change the "blanktime" to "0" to disable screen blanking)

    Option         "BlankTime" "30"

比较新的X推荐使用 `.conf` 文件代替 `xorg.conf`, `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf` 的一个例子如下：

    Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "LVDS0"
        Option "DPMS" "false"
    EndSection

    Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier "ServerLayout0"
        Option "BlankTime"  "0"
        Option "StandbyTime" "0"
        Option "SuspendTime" "0"
        Option "OffTime" "0"
    EndSection

## 用xset修改DPMS和屏保设定

可以用官方仓库中xorg-xset提供的`xset`工具关闭屏幕。注意：如果要在shell中关闭显示器，需要在命令前面加上 `sleep 1;` . 例如：

    sleep 1; xset dpms force off

To control Energy Star (DPMS) features (a timeout value of zero disables the mode):

    xset -dpms Energy Star features off
    xset +dpms Energy Star features on
    xset dpms [standby [suspend [off]]]
    xset dpms force standby
    xset dpms force suspend
    xset dpms force off
    xset dpms force on  (also implicitly enables DPMS features)

### xset屏保控制

你可以用xset控制你的屏保:

    xset s [timeout [cycle]]
    xset s default
    xset s on
    xset s blank
    xset s noblank
    xset s off
    xset s expose
    xset s noexpose
    xset s activate
    xset s reset

### 查看当前设置

    $ xset q

    ...

    Screen Saver:
      prefer blanking:  yes    allow exposures:  yes
      timeout:  600    cycle:  600
    DPMS (Energy Star):
      Standby: 600    Suspend: 600    Off: 600
      DPMS is Enabled
      Monitor is On

## 例子

### 关闭DPMS

    xset -dpms

### 禁止屏幕变为空白

    xset s off

### 关闭DPMS并防止屏幕变为空白

在看电影或幻灯片时有用:

    xset -dpms; xset s off

### 立刻关闭屏幕

如果你要离开，无须等待超时之后屏幕自动关闭。可以运行如下`xset`命令来立即关闭屏幕

    xset dpms force off

### Put screen into standby

    xset dpms force standby

### Put screen into suspend

    xset dpms force suspend

### Change Blank time from 5 min to 1 hour

    xset s 3600 3600

### xset display.sh

You could also copy this script:

    /usr/local/bin/display.sh

    #!/bin/bash
    # Small script to set display into standby, suspend or off mode
    # 20060301-Joffer

    case $1 in
      standby|suspend|off)
        xset dpms force $1
      ;;
      *)
        echo "Usage: $0 standby|suspend|off"
      ;;
    esac

Make it executable (`chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/display.sh`) and just run `display.sh off`. For the latter to work you need to include `/usr/local/bin` into your path.

## DPMS interaction in a Linux console with setterm

The setterm utility issues terminal recognized escape codes to alter the terminal. Essentially it just writes/echos the terminal sequences to the current terminal device, whether that be in screen, a remote ssh terminal, console mode, serial consoles, etc.

setterm Syntax: (0 disables)

    setterm -blank [0-60|force|poke]
    setterm -powersave [on|vsync|hsync|powerdown|off]
    setterm -powerdown [0-60]

Note: If you haven't already read the brief DPMS article linked to below, please skim it to understand how DPMS can be used in the console the same as in X.

### 防止屏幕关闭

可以运行以下命令, 并使其自启动(如添加到 /etc/rc.local):

    $ setterm -blank 0 -powerdown 0

也可以通过下列命令禁止终端清空:

    # echo -ne "\033[9;0]" >> /etc/issue

### Pipe the output to a cat to see the escapes

    $ setterm -powerdown 2>&1 | exec cat -v 2>&1 | sed "s/\\^\\[/\\\\033/g"

### Pipe the escapes to any tty (with write/append perms) to modify that terminal

Note the use of >> instead of >. For permission issues using sudo in a script or something, you can use the tee program to append the output of setterm to the tty device, which tty's let appending sometimes but not writing.

    $ setterm -powerdown 0 >> /dev/tty3

#### Bash loop to set ttys 0-256

    $ for i in {0..256}; do setterm -powerdown 0 >> /dev/tty$i; done; unset i;

## Troubleshooting

### xset的DPMS设置在xscreensaver不起作用

xscreensaver用它自己的DPMS设置。 请看xscreensaver的设置以获取更多信息。

#### xscreensaver DPMS

你可以通过编辑`~/.xscreensaver`以设置xscreensaver的DPMS设置，或者使用xscreensaver-demo.

    timeout:	1:00:00
    cycle:		0:05:00
    lock:		False
    lockTimeout:	0:00:00
    passwdTimeout:	0:00:30
    fade:		True
    unfade:		False
    fadeSeconds:	0:00:03
    fadeTicks:	20
    dpmsEnabled:	True
    dpmsStandby:	2:00:00
    dpmsSuspend:	2:00:00
    dpmsOff:	4:00:00
