Question: Since I move to SuSE 8.2 my screen does not enter in Power-Save mode anymore, To me more accurate it enters in Power-Save but exit this mode every 60 seconds for half a second, which is probably the best way kill a screen !!! Checking for "xset" options with "xset -q" I found out that both "DPMS" and ScreenSaver option was set, it this normal ? extract from (xset -a) ---------------------------- Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 0 cycle: 600 HOTFIX, remove xset save screen option and only validate dpms. xset -s 0 0; xset +dpms; xset dpms 600 600 0 How to reproduce set your DPMS timeout to a very short value, either from KDE menu or from a shell example "xset +dpms; xset dpms 10 15 0" In my case the screen is blank after 10s and enter in power-save more in 15s, but it wakes up after 60s, and this until I change xset screen-save value with "xset s 0 0". Question: 1) Can someone explain me what is this "Cycle" in the xset option ? 2) Did someone else already face this problem, did I made a error somewhere else ? Note: I installed SuSE 8.2 on more than one computer and only find out the problem when using a Nvidia GForce-4 graphic board, I also only see the error when running X11 but the error is present with KDE and in Failsafe mode.
