I am using i3lock to turn off my monitors on my workstations, but on my laptop, it doesn't seem to work. The command I'm using on both systems is the same:
i3lock -n -e -c 000000 -u -d
The -d should turn the monitor off via DPMS, but I can still see the backlight. I am also unable to set the brightness of the monitor. The laptop has both an onboard GPU and an nvidia. The xorg logfile says that it is initializing the DPMS extension, but on my other systems the output is a bit more lengthy. Where it works, it says:
So, I suspect that it is merely not supported. Is there something I can do to get it working?
