My monitor just sits there, as if I had never done anything.
Hm, what I found was that under kdm, DPMS settings in XF86Config-4 had no effect, but settings in the KDE Control Center did work. But then again, sometimes they don't. If my screen won't shut off, I have to restart my X server, then DPMS works again... but maybe only for a while. :| -- To reply by email, replace "deadspam.com" by "alumni.utexas.net"
