32ee5e90daSXin LI.Sh NAME
33ee5e90daSXin LI.Nm dpms
34ee5e90daSXin LI.Nd VESA BIOS DPMS driver
35ee5e90daSXin LI.Sh SYNOPSIS
36ee5e90daSXin LI.Cd "device dpms"
37ee5e90daSXin LI.Sh DESCRIPTION
38ee5e90daSXin LIThe
39ee5e90daSXin LI.Nm
40ee5e90daSXin LIdriver uses the VESA BIOS to manage an external display during suspend and
41ee5e90daSXin LIresume.
42ee5e90daSXin LIWhen the machine suspends,
43ee5e90daSXin LIthe
44ee5e90daSXin LI.Nm
45ee5e90daSXin LIdriver turns the external display off.
46ee5e90daSXin LIWhen the machine resumes,
47ee5e90daSXin LIit restores the display to its state when the driver was first loaded.
48ee5e90daSXin LI.Sh SEE ALSO
49ee5e90daSXin LI.Xr acpi_video 4
50ee5e90daSXin LI.Sh BUGS
51ee5e90daSXin LIThe VESA BIOS DPMS calls do not provide any way to identify a particular
52ee5e90daSXin LIdisplay or adapter to manipulate.
53ee5e90daSXin LIAs a result,
54ee5e90daSXin LIthis driver may have unexpected results on systems with multiple displays
55ee5e90daSXin LIand/or adapters.
