Markus Teich 2d85c5baed remove confusing DPMS comment FRIGN on hackers@suckless.org: What has been bugging me for quite a while is this DPMS comment that was added there for no reason. Every sane mind would agree that fiddling with DPMS makes no sense whatsoever. When I slock, my screen turns off after 10 minutes. So, if I don't like that, I disable DPMS. If I do, I just fiddle around with my mouse a bit and get the slock promt.		2016-09-26 13:28:09 +02:00
