Power management
  • YoavYoav November 2010
    Hi,

    How do I do power management in SliTaz? How do I get the screen to automatically turn off etc?

    Cheers,

    Yoav

    The screen will turn off once you get the intel video driver installed,DPMS is not supported in the vesa driver.

    No guide on CPU frequency scaling.

    Hi Yoav
    You can use xset to control your screen saver.
    Install xset
    # tazpkg get-install xorg-xset
    Check current settings
    $ xset q
    Turn off screen saver
    $ xset s off
    Turn it on again
    $ xset s on
    Set the inactivity time to 20 minutes
    $ xset s 1200
    More options and info on man xset, or this site:

    Have fun.
    Best regards.

    I am having a similar problem, but I am trying to get the screen to NOT turn off. I am running slitaz with no X, with busybox. No video drivers installed so what ever slitaz has Internally I guess. The screen always turns off after ~5 mins, I have used many different video cards with same result. Anyon have any ideas?

    Hi kbarker.
    There is actual practical no tool on slitaz for changing terminal power, that's why I made receipt for setterm. Here is my receipt with package for stable. setterm receipt
    setterm -powersave off
    setterm -powerdown
    should turn off powersave.
    Hope that developers will check and include this receipt into cooking soon.
