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? Best wishes -Ken
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.

I have noticed a similar problem with my Nokia 445Xi monitor, NVidia card and SuSE where when transfering to a tty# it requires turning the monitor power OFF/ON. The image is there but the monitor seems to miss a wakeup call if it is sent. -- 73 de Donn Washburn Hpage: " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB Email : " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " 307 Savoy St. HAMs: " n5xwb@arrl.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador LL# 1.281.242.3256 " http://counter.li.org " #279316
