I hate it when my monitor shuts off while running that Matrix screen saver!

Check your /etc/X11/XF86Config file for a line in the "Graphics Device"
section that says

Option     "power_saver"

Just comment it out, restart X and it should be fine.

Hello,

I've installed MDK 7.1 on a system and I'm currently using an antique
15" 
monitor with it.  When using X (with KDE) I notice after 15 minutes or
so 
the screen goes crazy.  I originally checked the screensaver settings,
but 
after setting those for 30 minutes and having this occur before the 
screensaver kicks in, I'm assuming the system is trying to shut of the 
monitor (which it doesn't support).

I've removed apmd from the startup/shutdown scripts and it doesn't
appear 
to be running.  Does KDE have some internal power functions?  I didn't
see 
any power off settings in the KDE config.

Any other ideas?  Hate having to turn the monitor off every time I get
up 
for more than 15 minutes.

Thanks,

S
