Worth trying it out . You can check quite quickly whether DPMS is enabled or not by running: xset -q You can also disable it manually with the xset command. Very useful tip! I note two different settings on mine: = Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yesallow exposures: yes timeout: 600cycle: 600 = and = DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 1200Suspend: 600Off: 2400 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On = Where is Screen Saver set? I don't have anything in my xorg.conf . . . OT Also a bit of an OT question (apologies to the OP): my mouse is a bit jerky when I move it quickly in a straight line. The above query shows: = Pointer Control: acceleration: 2/1threshold: 4 = Is this normal? How do I control its jerkiness? /OT -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I followed the discussion of several weeks ago, and it did not appear to make a difference. I have pasted in the relavant parts of my xorg.conf. If someone could please help me out here -- this is getting a bit frustrating -- the options I specified according to the messages from a couple weeks ago in the section under the monitor (the DPMS etc) There was a question at the time of the discussion if the 0 was the appropriate value to turn stuff off, but I never heard a resolution on that either. blah blah Remove the following line.

If you are using KDE check your settings in Control Center(Peripherals - Display - Power Control Tab). Second thing is to check if you don't have any power saving oprions in your monitor's OSD menu. -- Best Regards, Peper -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

If it was not in there, the monitor would stay on all the time, except when in console. That may have changed though. I may have even been using Xfree then too. I just always thought it was a option that you had to turn on. Me out of clues. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
