Disable power and brightness buttons on Apple Cinema Displays in a lab?
We have a combination of new-model (DVI/silver) 20" Apple Cinema Displays as well as old-model (ADC/plastic) 20" Apple Cinema Displays in our computer labs. All of our computers are running Mac OS X 10.4.10.
I would like to disable the power and brightness buttons on these displays. I know I can do this manually by logging into each computer as an administrator, selecting System Preferences > Displays > Options, and checking the appropriate boxes, but obviously I'd like a leaner, meaner solution.
By the way, the option did not propogate via imaging, so it makes me think this is not a preference that's written to a .plist file somewhere. (I looked and looked and couldn't find a key in any preference file where these settings are stored...)
Does anyone know of a Unix terminal command or an Applescript command that I could send to all of my lab computers via Apple Remote Desktop to accomplish this?
