I have been wondering for weeks whether S.u.S.E. or Linux in general has energy saving features like a feature to shutdown the monitor when not in use. I know that the monitor shuts down if I leave the system set without input at the Linux command prompt. It doesn't do this while running the KDE. I really wanted to read up on this before I asked this list, but I haven't found anything jumping out at me. Perhaps this is something that is handled by firmware below the OS level. Any thoughts?
At the command prompt, Linux isn't really shutting down the monitor, it's blacking the screen out. To get the same effect, KDE has a screen saver that you'd have to activate. Check under "K^", "Applnk", "Desktop", "Settings", "Screen Saver" ---------------------------------- <A HREF="http://benham.net/index.html"><A HREF="http://benham.net/index.html</A">http://benham.net/index.html</A</A>> -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS d+(-) s:+ a29 C++$ UL++>++++ P+++$ L++>++++ E?
