Hi,

I did a test, I used this :
<keybind key="C-l">
    <keybind key="s">
        <action name="Execute">
          <command>xset dpms force off</command>
        </action>
      </keybind>
</keybind>


and it works fine. can you provide additional information  ( openbox version
) , did you try some other key?( other than 0xdf ).


Mark.
