Description
As noted at http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html calls to "xset dpms" need to be prefixed with "sleep 1":
will blank the screen (or activate the screensaver program, if you're using
one) after a delay of one second. You need the delay because X gets a little
confused about the order of events; it will blank the screen but immediate
un-blank it, thinking the activity of your typing the command happened
recently enough to come out of screensaver mode.
sleep 1; xset dpms force off
will turn the screen OFF after a delay of one second. You can also use
standby, suspend, or on instead of off.Downstream bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=776674
