How can I put my HDMI display into (and out of) power save mode? At the bottom it says DPMS is disabled. Turn it on: xset +dpms then your commands should work... |

How can I put my HDMI display into (and out of) power save mode? Do you get an error from xset or does nothing happen? Also what distro? If it doesn't work I would guess ACPI is not compiled into the kernel. As a diagnostic, please post the output of xset q. Thanks. |

Can I make pacman aware of packages installed manually? I thought I had made it pretty obvious that using pacman wasn't viable. Otherwise I would have just used pacman. |

Can I make pacman aware of packages installed manually? The reason I can't do this is that I'm attempting to install packages in a mounted Arch image of a different architecture without emulating it. Thus I cannot use pacman. |

How can I chroot into a filesystem with a different architechture? I know how to use Qemu for emulation. Apparently you can use it with chroot, although clearly I cannot work out how. |
