Hello Linux folkz, I got a problem with DPMS. When I switched to new XFree86-4.0 server my DPMS in KDE stopped working. Could somebody tell me please what setting and where should I change to enable this very useful feature? Thanks in advance.

I am using 3.3.6, but when I played around with 4.0 I had the same problem. I never successfully solved my problem. Actually, if you search the list archives you will find answers to my problem from SuSE's members. In brief, go through sax2 and in the advance section make sure that DPMS is enabled.

Hello Alvaro, Thank you for your response. Yes indeed, I set DPMS enabled in SaX2 monitor configuration expert options. But It didn't solve this problem. May be somebody knows another way to solve this issue. I will very appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Alex On Fri, 06 Oct 2000, Alvaro A. Novo wrote:

Hi, Try doing a "xset q" you should see if dpms is disabled or enabled in the third line from the bottom. If it's disabled, try a "xset +dpms", that should turn it on ( for this session ). -tosi -----Original Message----- From: Alex Daniloff [mailto:alex@daniloff.com] Sent: 7. október 2000 07:50 To: Alvaro A.

Hello Tor, Thank you for a hint. But it didn't work ether. Even it was showing that DPMS is On DPMS didn't work at all. Looks like I should stick with XF86 3.3 version for a while. Thanks Alex On Sat, 07 Oct 2000, Tor Sigurdsson wrote:

** Reply to message from Alex Daniloff on Sat, 7 Oct 2000 13:44:48 -0700 Alex, I had the same problem. I got a hint from "http://linux.nf/stepbystep.htm. Choose on the left "Power Management", then Monitors. The information is for XF 3.3.x, but it can be adapted to XF 4.0.1. In the file /etc/X11/XF86Config, the section names are different, rearranged and have different "Options". Under Section "Monitor", add the following line: Option "DPMS". Under Section "ServerLayout", check for the following: 1) Does the line Screen "Screen[0]" line refer to an Identifier "Screen[0]" under Section "Screen" which also shows Monitor "Monitor[0]"? Mine are all [0] because I only have 1 Card, 1 Monitor and 1 Screen definition. 2) Assuming that the monitor with the "DPMS" option enabled is referred to in Section "Screen" which is later referred to in Section "ServerLayout", you may add Options to Section "ServerLayout" that will apply to all such monitors in the following format: Option "BlankTime" "15" # in minutes Option "StandbyTime" "30" Option "SuspendTime" "45" Option "OffTime" "60". Of course, you can use all 4 or only 1; I use only BlankTime and OffTime. It works for me, I hope it works for you.
