Greg - Thanks for your suggestion, but as it happens my problem is solved. It turned out to be my stupidity - I thought I had the screensaver set but I hadn't and it was defaulting to a blank screen. Thanks again Best wishes - Ken On Sunday 21 August 2005 04:47, Greg Wallace wrote:

I've just upgraded to SuSE 9.3 and I now have a system where the display blanks out after about 10 minutes of non-use.
This is obviously power-management and it's working OK because if I touch the mouse or keyboard the display restores immediately.
However, I never like this behaviour in a desktop PC so I always shut it off. This time, I can't seem to kill it. I've stopped the powersave demon, I've put acpi=off (that worked in SuSE 9.2) into the boot parameters, but
nothing
stops it.
Can anyone tell me the magic incantation?

I think you just need to set up a screen saver so that your monitor has a steady signal. That should keep it from dozing off.
