I know this post is a bit old but I want to share the solution. Just add three Tunables for rc.conf: blanktime=<seconds value>, saver="green" and scrnmap="NO".
Again coming back to life this post because right now my solution doesn't work on my main system (specs in my signature). Nothing happen. If I turn on the screensaver through the GUI, Beastie starts jumping around. Also I tried to use another screensaver (assigned to saver variable) with the same result. Any ideas where the issue might be?
Hi. A few years have past. Is there a solution today? I installed freenas on a old laptop and would like to reduce power consumption. Any help is appreciated.
What do you mean with suitable hardware. I guess our definitions of old might vary. The Laptop meats the official requirements (RAM could even be upgraded to 16GB) and since it got USB 3 the gigabit network connection is the limiting factor concerning transfer speed. Is there any other reason why I should avoid reusing an laptop instead of buying for new hardware?
If not I really would be interested in disabling the display via software.
