DPMSSetTimeouts(3dpms)		 DPMS FUNCTION		DPMSSetTimeouts(3dpms)

NAME
       DPMSSetTimeouts	-  permits applications to set the timeout values used
       by the X server for DPMS timings

SYNOPSIS
       Status DPMSSetTimeouts ( display , standby, suspend, off )
	     Display *display;
	     CARD16 standby;
	     CARD16 suspend;
	     CARD16 off;

ARGUMENTS
       - display
	      Specifies the connection to the X server

       - standby
	      Specifies the new standby timeout in seconds

       - suspend
	      Specifies the new suspend timeout in seconds

       - off  Specifies the new off timeout in seconds

DESCRIPTION
       The DPMSSetTimeouts function permits applications to  set  the  timeout
       values used by the X server for DPMS timings.

       The  value standby is the amount of inactivity time, in seconds, before
       standby mode is invoked. The actual effects of this mode are  dependent
       on  the	characteristics	 of the monitor and frame buffer card. Standby
       mode is implemented by shutting off the	horizontal  sync  signal,  and
       pulsing	the  vertical  sync signal. Standby mode provides the quickest
       monitor recovery time.  Note also that  many  monitors  implement  this
       mode  identical	to suspend mode.  A value of zero disables the standby
       mode.

       The value suspend is the amount of  time	 of  inactivity,  in  seconds,
       before  the  second  level  of power savings is invoked. Suspend mode's
       physical and electrical characteristics are implementation defined. For
       DPMS  compliant	hardware,  setting  the suspend mode is implemented by
       pulsing the horizontal sync signal and shutting off the	vertical  sync
       signal.	 In  general, suspend mode recovery is considered to be slower
       than standby mode, but faster than off mode. However it may  vary  from
       monitor	to monitor.  As noted above, many monitors implement this mode
       identical to the standby mode.  A value of zero disables this mode.

       The value off is the amount of time of  inactivity,in  seconds,	before
       the third and final level of power savings is invoked. Off mode's phys‐
       ical and electrical characteristics are implementation defined. In DPMS
       compliant  hardware,  it is implemented by shutting off both horizontal
       and vertical sync signals, resulting in powering down of	 the  monitor.
       Recovery	 time  is implementation dependent.  Usually the recovery time
       is very close to the power-up time of the monitor. A value of zero dis‐
       ables this mode.

       Chronologically, standby mode occurs before or simultaneously with sus‐
       pend mode, and suspend mode must occur before  or  simultaneously  with
       off mode.  Therefore, non-zero mode timeout values must be greater than
       or equal to the timeout values of earlier modes.	 If inconsistent  val‐
       ues are supplied, a BadValue error will result.

RETURN VALUES
       TRUE	      The DPMSSetTimeouts function returns TRUE when the func‐
		      tion has succeeded. Note: Standby>Suspend>Off = 0

ERRORS
       BadValue	      An argument is out of range.
