But this problem was cause I'm not running KDE, i'm trying to get this to work in GNOME. Here it comes again. ---------------------------------------------------- Hi. When I use the KDE there is a powersave for my laptop monitor (just the monitor) so it goes totally black but I'm not able to find the same option in GNOME (the monitor goes black but not totally as in KDE). Is there some setting I have missed or is there som package I have to install? Regards /Per Since the fine folks that are creating Gnome consider "less control" to be "less confusing" to the user it probably does not exist. The best
