AFAIK the only way is to always run a remote X server (i.e. Xvnc) and always connect to it, even when sitting at the local computer.

Maybe you could do something with dpms but that leaves the keyboard active still.



Yeah see this has always been where I think Windows dominates Linux.

Going from local to RDP to local feels seamless and secure. I wish we could get that experience on Linux.


Does GNOME's new RDP server get us any closer to this dream?
