I've added these here rather than in config, as they need to be changed at runtime, maybe there is a better place to define these?


# Rotate screen if needed, see 'xrandr -h' for options.
DISPLAY_ORIENTATION=normal

if ["${DISPLAY_ORIENTATION}" != 'normal'];
then
xrandr --orientation ${DISPLAY_ORIENTATION}
fi

if ["${DISABLE_POWER_MANAGEMENT}" == 'yes'];
then
xset s off # don't activate screensaver
xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features.
xset s noblank # don't blank the video device
fi
