Wayland DPMS & acpid.service issues #111

Open tpeacock19 opened 7 months ago

Hello

I have just started using the DPMS module in Clight/Clightd on Wayland. I didn't realize you had implemented this capability yet. However, I'm running into an issue when my laptop is connected to an external dock. The both displays will turn off, however soon after they turn right back on.

I was able to determine that if I stopped the acpid systemd service, that this fixes the issue. There does not seem to be any setting that prevents acpid from reawakening my displays. I can probably live without acpid, but I wanted to bring it up in case you had any ideas for a solution.

Hi! Sorry for the late response! That is a really weird behavior; most probably acpid is taking control over the dpms settings(?). Can acpid be configured to stop messing with acpid?
