To be able to leave my system on at night, I need to use the power save mode on my flatscreen. That way, it will blank, then turn itself off after 30 minutes.
Recently, I have noticed that it doesn't turn itself off anymore. Instead it only does the screen saver.
Where should I start looking to see why it is not doing power save? (I don't remember any patches that may have affected this.)
thanks eric
Eric, If you are running 9.2, there is a program called kpowersave you can run to do the power down for you. That is with KDE 3.3.1 running, I might add. Earlier versions of SuSE as well as KDE, I believe, controlled this thru the KDE Control Center power settings.
