Short: CyberGfx/P96 DPMS energy saving manager
Author: stefan.robl@tirnet.de (Stefan Robl)
Uploader: stefan.robl@tirnet.de (Stefan Robl)
Version: 1.00
Type: util/blank
Description
-----------
DPMSManager is a small DPMS energy saving tool for computers
equipped with a CyberGraphics/Picasso96-supporting Gfx-Board.
DPMSManager supports the three DPMS energy-saving methods of modern
monitors (STANDBY, SUSPEND, POWEROFF).
You can specify the delay time for each DPMS-stage.
The main idea of DPMSManager is to have DPMS-functions in conjunction
with other screenblankers (if so, then you have to set the dpms-times
longer then the blanker times!!) or just as standalone-program which
provides the energy saving methods.
This program is a redesign of my CGXBlanker (util/blank/CGXBlanker.lha)
and the idea for it had Paul "ExiE" Strejcek.
Thanks, Paul for this good idea!
ToolTypes
---------
The following tooltypes are supported:
MODEID : (optional and recommended) -> ModeID of the CGX-screenmode
used to open for the DPMS-mode. If not specified, DPMSManager
uses the screenmode of your WB (which then has to be run
under CGX/P96 to allow the DPMS-functions!).
The ModeID has to be a decimal number (you can get it with
getModeID).
POWEROFFKEY : <SHIFT F4> -> shortcut for immediate DPMS-PowerOff
QUITKEY : <SHIFT F5> -> shortcut for quitting DPMSManager
STANBYTIME : <seconds> to wait before stage 1 of DPMS (Standby)
SUSPEND : <seconds> to wait after stage 1 before activating
stage 2 (Suspend)
POWEROFFTIME: <seconds> to wait after stage 2 before activating
stage 3 (PowerOff)
