Sure is nice how you told us exactly what you tried that failed, and what video chip and driver you use. That said, maybe what eats at you is https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661536
Also note that 2.6.34 makes a lot of people unhappy too. Could that be involved in some way?

The fglrx (for ATI) does not honor the following, but the NVIDIA driver does, at least on my box. I manually created my own xorg.conf and in the monitor section I have the folowing: Section "Monitor" Option "DPMS" "false" I had to resort to this because one of my monitors (the CRT one) has an intermittent problem sometimes when it suspends. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
