DPMS Screen Saver

When you are running Solaris 2.6 to 10, CDE allows you to enable a Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) Screen Saver. DPMS provides a standard way to manage the power used by your flat- panel display. DPMS shuts off the backlight in the flat panel when the display is not in use. This reduces the power consumption of the backlight and extends the life of the display.

On Solaris 2.5.1, the screen saver only blanks the screen while leaving the backlight on.

You can enable DPMS through the Style Manager, just as you would invoke any screen saver. You can also turn off DPMS to prevent your screen from powering off during times when you are using the flat panel frequently.

Screen saver tips

If you select any screen saver other than, or in addition to, Blank Screen, the system does not invoke DPMS. Instead, it uses the screen saver you selected.

During times that you are using the flat-panel display frequently, set the Screen Saver field to Off. This setting ensures that the display does not invoke DPMS, which means that you do not have to wait for the display brightness to stabilize when you begin to use it again.

Set the Screen Saver field to On when you plan to be away from the computer for several hours. With the screen saver running, your system conserves energy, and the backlight in the flat-panel display lasts longer.
