Turn Screen Off Handheld

Insight & Feedback
1

Good Afternoon! So I’ve installed ZimaOS on my Legion Go handheld as I have no other current use for it. I’m familiar with Proxmox and have ran it on my handheld for a while and was able to run a line in /etc/default/grub in order to turn the build on screen off after 60 seconds, but I can’t seem to figure out how to achieve the same results on ZimaOS. I’ve looked through logind.conf but I’m only seeing areas for closing a laptop screen, but no screen timeout setting.

Is anyone familiar enough on here that may be able to help me out? Thank you.

ZimaOS doesn’t support proper screen timeout like Proxmox.
No full power management, and /etc changes don’t stick.

Quick workaround (temporary only):

xset dpms 60 60 60

or force it off:

xset dpms force off

That’s it, resets on reboot.

If you want proper control, you’ll need Proxmox or a full Linux distro.

I can live with forcing it off again after any reboots.

Thank you so much for the info!
