.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm dpms
|
|
.Nd VESA BIOS DPMS driver
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device dpms"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver uses the VESA BIOS to manage an external display during suspend and
|
|
resume.
|
|
When the machine suspends,
|
|
the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver turns the external display off.
|
|
When the machine resumes,
|
|
it restores the display to its state when the driver was first loaded.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr acpi_video 4
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The VESA BIOS DPMS calls do not provide any way to identify a particular
|
|
display or adapter to manipulate.
|
|
As a result,
|
|
this driver may have unexpected results on systems with multiple displays
|
|
and/or adapters.
