Do you know of a command to read the current setting? I don't see it mentioned in the man page of xset.
Ah, 'xset q'. ~~~~~~~
Thanks Carlos. I did not know that.

Thanks to both you guys because -- I didn't know 'any' of that :p
:-)
I'm sure that I will forget this when I need it next time O:-)
It seems to me the obvious question here is why are these settings not exposed in the Control panel as they were in prior versions?
They are there but probably hard to find. Look in the Power Management module under the specific profiles - you can enable DPMS and set the timeouts for the various modes.

Will - what cause me to ask and start this thread was the fact that disabling DPMS via the Power Management module did NOT keep the display monitor turned on... At least in KDE 4.4.1.. If that should have, then I would have to say the Power Management module is buggy... Also, as an FYI, I tried to set up a script, to keep my monitor turned on, to get executed automatically via the CPU And System -> "When Loading Profile Execute" and have discovered that the script does not get executed when the system is booted up, or if it does then something else is overriding it later.....
