All,
Often, I like to blank the screen on my Z without doing a suspend. I use this when I run xmms for music and don\'t want to waste battery on the
screen.
So, I wrote a simple applet based on the xterm-wrapper.sh
mb-applet-xset-wrapper.sh
---------------------
#!/bin/sh
# This just wraps xset command to blank the screen
# It tries /usr/X11R6/bin first, then /usr/bin, then simply uses the path
#
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xset ]; then
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset s blank;
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xset s activate;
else
if [ -x /usr/bin/xset ]; then
/usr/bin/xset s blank;
exec /usr/bin/xset s activate;
else
xset s blank;
exec xset s activate;
fi
fi
---------------------
Then I put this line in my
/home/root/.matchbox/mbdock.session file
mb-applet-launcher -o -1 -l figment.png mb-applet-xset-wrapper.sh
Note: You\'ll want to do this with X stopped. Then startx.
Anyone tell me how I can setup the menu-]Utilities-]Panel to include
this applet?
Now just tap the light bulb to turn off the screen. If someone has
a better icon, let me know.
