   	I frequently connect over VNC to a system running Slackware 14.2   
   where an X windows session is running on a monitor connected over   
   DisplayPort to that system.   
      
   	Without being physically there, would it be possible to detect,   
   from the 14.2 command line, whether or not the monitor is turned on? I   
   have done an online search for solutions and came across a number of   
   things that seem to work for some people under Red Hat or Ubuntu - but   
   have yet to find anything that works under Slackware.
