Alan Pae pointed be back to pmconfig(1M), which I was aware of, but I have
always thought of the Power Management packages as part of CDE. However,
despite the fact that the documents really want you to use dtpower(1M)
to configure Power Management, no where does it explicitly say that pmconfig(1M),
powerd(1M), and power.conf(4) actually need CDE installed and running to work.
Unfortunately, Mr. Pae was unable to help with configuring Power Management
outside of CDE, and my attempts to manually play with power.conf(4) have
not had any encouraging results. I still can't get a console (Sun monitor
plugged into the Ultra 60) to power down after being idle for 'n' minutes.
Had anyone had success with this? I'll spare the details of what I've
tried for anyone interested in helping. Thanks for the help so far.
