[LINUX] Power off primary monitor with XBMC running on secondary monitor
#1
I am currently running Ubuntu 9.10 with dual screens. I am running XBMC full screen on my secondary monitor. What I am trying to do is right a script I can use as the screensaver to power off the only the primary monitor so that it will not interrupt XBMC. XBMC can do it on its monitor with the option to put display to sleep after idle.

My attempt thus far has been
Code:
#!/bin/bash

DISPLAY=:0.0

xset -display $DISPLAY dpms force off

This should only power off the one monitor but it still power off both.

Anyone have any advice?
