When I am under on of the other window managers, like Fvwm, my screen now fails to dim after the prescribed time. This was working in the past, before my system crash, and I lost my notes on what to do. If I run openSuse System Settings, manually enable Power Management, then go to Power management I can set a time to dim the screen. But I used to be able to do that directly under X. Doesn't xset work under X any more? I tried doing the xset as root, also without success. Is there some set of services I can enable to provide the screen blanking?
Thanks, and sorry for the a bit off topic Don
I tried all of the xset options suggested in the replies. xset still does not work on my machine. I added consoleblank=600 to the boot command line, and that does cause blanking in 10 minutes as desired. I do not know what is wrong with xset, something openSuse sets up? Anyway, no longer a problem.
and you tried: maybe it isn't getting initiated or ?? try from cl: xset s reset xset s activate xset s on all or in combinations or ... and NO, not as root! -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
