I wanted to do this too, but wanted to dim my screen on idle, and have it come back on input under X11. I don't run gnome or kde, so didn't want to use one of their power managers for this. I couldn't find anything, so I wrote my own. I don't know if I have done it in the most efficient way, but you're welcome to hack the code to do what you want - it is not complex code. http://marshwiggle.net/xbacklightd/ cheers dc -- David Purton dcpurton@marshwiggle.net For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9a
