[Coco] multi-sync monitor thing & DPMS ...

[Kevin Diggs]

Hi,

	I am going to try one more time to get you to consider adding DPMS 
support to this thing.

	The 70+ watt power consumption of a monitor will drop to <10 when in 
standby. Given what is going on with energy prices I think it would be a 
crime if you don't at least look into it.

	If you have a communication channel between the tre and your gadget, 
implementing DPMS is easy:  you just block the appropriate sync pulses 
for the given mode:  on (none), standby (H or V), suspend (V or H), and 
off (both). A communication channel allows you to move the intelligence 
of when to switch modes to the OS-9 driver. Your gadget just does what 
it is told.

	The biggest drop in power for most monitors is from on to standby but 
there are some odd ball monitors out there (Nanao F2-17 for example has 
to be put into suspend - not compatible with MacOS at least for power 
savings).
