Hello!
I have a RPI 3b+ computer with Buster and an external touchscreen.
I want to be able to put that LCD in standby mode, but to be able to wake up on touch.
Now I use the blanking method via xscreenaver, but in this case, the LCD is not really closed, is blank - I can see the hallo.
I want the display part to be closed.
It's possible and how?
The display is connected via a ribbon cable, not HDMI.
Thank you

Re: External LCD display Standby

Re: External LCD display Standby
Actually, it seems to work If I run manually those commands. The display is OFF, not only blanked.
If I put the same lines inside this file, it does not work 
Code: Select all
export DISPLAY=:0
xset dpms force off

Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
Code: Select all
xset dpms force off
xset s 120

All working now. After 2 minutes the LCD is OFF.
I waited 10 minutes and with a touch, the screen wake up immediately.
