Yep, one of the very first things to be turned off when I first booted
10.0.
Cheers.

Here's what I have set under /etc/sysconfig/powersave/scheme_Desktop, the one I'm using (set via YaST). I spent a few days trying to solve the same problem you're having and this is what ended up working for me (along with the screensaver settings, etc., discussed earlier under configure desktop). I have posted this before, but I think it was in an earlier thread with someone else.
POWERSAVE_SCHEME_NAME="Desktop" POWERSAVE_SCHEME_DESCRIPTION="Desktop" POWERSAVE_CPUFREQUENCY="performance" POWERSAVE_ALLOW_THROTTLING="no" POWERSAVE_MAX_THROTTLING="50" POWERSAVE_DISK_STANDBY_MODE="off" POWERSAVE_DISK_ACOUSTIC="performance" POWERSAVE_USER_INPUT_TIMEOUT="100" POWERSAVE_ACTION_USER_INPUT_TIMEOUT="screen_saver" POWERSAVE_COOLING_POLICY="active" POWERSAVE_ALWAYS_THROTTLE="no" POWERSAVE_DISABLE_DISPLAY_SETTINGS="no" POWERSAVE_DISABLE_SCREEN_SAVER="no" POWERSAVE_DISABLE_DPMS="no" POWERSAVE_DPMS_STANDBY="5" POWERSAVE_DPMS_SUSPEND="7" POWERSAVE_DPMS_OFF="10"

Thanks for this, Greg. I didn't have a file called scheme_Desktop so created it with the parameters you state above. I'll see what will now happen re the monitor.
Cheers.

The way I got this is by going into YaST and going through the step by step of creating a new scheme. I just picked Desktop and that's what ended up going into that directory. I somehow managed to pick the right answers to the questions going through that step by step. At least it worked for me. Since it did work, I decided to save off a copy of all of the parameters. That's where this came from. I would go to YaST and confirm that this scheme is indeed being set as your computer's scheme. Worst case is you could go through the step by step and then verify what it created against my list and tune accordingly (via manual modification). Greg Wallace
