Hi,
I bought myself a nice new monitor, a Hyundai N91S. Months ago I wrote myself a script before to turn off the monitor with the command xset dpms force off so that I could turn off the monitor without having to wait for the regular powersave feature to kick in. With this new monitor, KDE picks it up as "PLUG AND PLAY". For some reason this new monitor and or the PLUG AND PLAY monitor setting do not actually turn off the monitor. When the POWERSAVE feature kicks in, the screen goes black, but the power button does not turn to amber indicating power off.
I tried forcing the setting by using xset +dpms but to no avail. The ACPID process is running.
HELP
How can I get this new monitor to power off?
