Eric,
Thanks for the pointer. My particular case (not the original post)
is the same problem with a Creator3D (driver=sunffb). Would you have
an idea what it's offset might be?
Or, if the obscure header is part of the Solaris distribution, I
have it and must have missed it while trying to go through the Solaris
headers looking for likely names or strings. Could you tell me what
it is?
By the way, in case I wasn't clear, with the Creator, XFree86 can do
Blank/Unblank using 'xscreensaver' (and XF86 3.x
'xset' can force blanking using XSun24). What doesn't work is
'xset s blank' with sunffb & XF86 4.x.y.
What doesn't work is any sort of DPMS power management, even though
Solaris knows how (so it is possible).
Regards,
Ferris
