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 : -> shortcut for immediate DPMS-PowerOff QUITKEY : -> shortcut for quitting DPMSManager STANBYTIME : to wait before stage 1 of DPMS (Standby) SUSPEND : to wait after stage 1 before activating stage 2 (Suspend) POWEROFFTIME: to wait after stage 2 before activating stage 3 (PowerOff) Features -------- DPMSManager... o supports (or better: needs) CyberGraphics or Picasso96 o is small o is a commodity o supports all three stages of DPMS o is systemfriendly designed o is freeware Requirements ------------ o AmigaOS 3.x+ (tested with OS 3.1) o GfxBoard running with CyberGraphX or Picasso96 and a Workbench/DefaultPublicScreen running in >=256 Colors (tested with CGXV3, 1152x900x16, OpusMagellanII) Distribution ------------ DPMSManager is FREEWARE. I would be happy to get an eMail if you like/use it or if you have any questions about this tool.
