Can anyone tell me how to make the darn monitor turning itself off every 10 minutes when there is no activity? I have the screen saver set to OFF, and the power management set to IGNORE (off) but still the damn thing goes into standby mode - most annoying. And setting the screensaver to activate after 240 minutes has no effect- the standby mode still kicks in.
Cheers.

I had the same problem. If you go into YaST under Powersave and create a brand new scheme, it walks you through a step by step with some decent descriptions of what each option is doing on the left. Here's a new scheme that I ended up with. My screen saver comes on after 4 minutes and stays on.
POWERSAVE_SCHEME_NAME="Desktop" POWERSAVE_SCHEME_DESCRIPTION="Desktop" POWERSAVE_CPUFREQUENCY="performance" POWERSAVE_ALLOW_THROTTLING="no" POWERSAVE_MAX_THROTTLING="50" POWERSAVE_DISK_STANDBY_MODE="off" POWERSAVE_DISK_ACOUSTIC="performance" POWERSAVE_USER_INPUT_TIMEOUT="100" POWERSAVE_ACTION_USER_INPUT_TIMEOUT="screen_saver" POWERSAVE_COOLING_POLICY="active" POWERSAVE_ALWAYS_THROTTLE="no" POWERSAVE_DISABLE_DISPLAY_SETTINGS="no" POWERSAVE_DISABLE_SCREEN_SAVER="no" POWERSAVE_DISABLE_DPMS="no" POWERSAVE_DPMS_STANDBY="5" POWERSAVE_DPMS_SUSPEND="7" POWERSAVE_DPMS_OFF="10"

As my original message states, I have the screen saver set to OFF - I don't like screen savers, they're a waste of time. And as my reply to Carlos states, I have (or so it would appear) all the powersaving parameters de-activated. However, you seem to suggest that creating a new profile with the above may solve the problem. OK, thanks for the above - I'll give it a try.
