If anyone is using a computer monitor over a DVI connection as a display, I am terribly interested in how you got it working. It displays LMCE and the media fine and seems to be properly setup in the video wizard. I have tried the DPMS monitor template and set the video pipes but I cannot get the display to either turn off or go to standby when I select the display off button in LMCE. The orbiter disappears but the monitor never goes to standby. I unchecked the leave monitor on for display box in the admin website under the orbiter settings and have set the video pipes for the MD.
I also tried enabling DPMS from the KDE desktop. That doesn't seem to work either. I was under the impression that DPMS was more for the VGA connector but when I inquired about the DVI monitor someone referred me to the DPMS template. I am not sure if this is the correct template, but I cannot seem to find the elusive DVI monitor template.
I know that the monitor will support kicking over to standby based on input from the PC (or lack thereof) because I have Ubuntu 8.04LTS installed on the MD HDD, and the function works beautifully with that.
Any help would be most appreciated and thanks in advance!

This script seems to kick it into standby properly. Now I just need to map it to a remote button or set up a scenario to execute it. Here is where I am having trouble now. I cannot seem to figure out how to execute a script with a scenario.
#!/bin/bash
STATUS=`xset -q | grep "Monitor is" | awk '{print $3}'`
if [ "${STATUS}" = "On" ]
then
sleep 1; xset dpms force off
else
xset dpms force on
fi
exit 0
