Is there a way to tell XFree86 > that my mouse should be able to wake the display back up? Moving the mouse generally won't do this. Clicking will. Me? I hit the <shift> key. Why? Because sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between a blanked display, and a powered-down monitor. <shift> (or other modifiers -- <atl>, <ctrl>, etc.) are pretty unlikely to have any effect on the system, as they don't send a signal to an application in most cases. You're not going to accidentally do something if you'e guessed wrong about display state. Peace. -- Karsten M.
