2000, will merely look like they're asleep but will still respond over
DDC if they have a power cord plugged in.
But if I can't talk to it, I'll use what's in the config file. Do you
have an example of X not doing so?
Yes... the most frustrating part of all. As I've been trying to
communicate, xorg does _not_ use my xorg.conf when the monitor is off,
and instead uses something on the scale of 800x600 which is so large,
the necessary widgets are off screen.
