Hi,

how do I wake up the screen on a linux box without mouse or keyboard? User
interaction is done by serial port and network. I thought the easiest way
would be to call

xset dpms force on

from within my application each time I receive an user event. However the
screen stays dark.

Any idea?

If X is running, perhaps xscreensaver is also running; you can kill it
or use xscreensaver-command -deactivate. If X is not running, use
setterm -blank 0 -powersave off.
