Add support for remote screen blanking

Open rgl opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Add support for remote screen blanking. This is useful when:

When remotely performing maintenance on a client system, it can sometimes be necessary to ensure that the maintenance is not visible to people in the vicinity of the system. This is particularly true for sensitive maintenance conducted on systems located in public, such as ATMs.

I'm willing to add support for this feature if you provide some guidance on how I should/could implement it :-)

I think this feature is implemented however the visibility of this option depends on if firmware screen blanking is turned on by OEM. Apparently most OEM do not enable this feature during manufacturing process thus it is off.

This is also the same problem with agent presence hardware reset capability. Most do not activate this during manufacturing thus it cannot be used.

How do I confirm its implemented in MeshCommander?

The only references that I've found relevant to this using the words "blank", "blanking" and "screen" were:
