To be able to leave my system on at night, I need to use the power save mode on my flatscreen. That way, it will blank, then turn itself off after 30 minutes.
Recently, I have noticed that it doesn't turn itself off anymore. Instead it only does the screen saver.
Where should I start looking to see why it is not doing power save? (I don't remember any patches that may have affected this.)
thanks eric
Hi, it happened to me if I use some media player (in my case - mplayer) Most of them alter the screen saver in order to play a movie. A basic restart of X solves the problem. If it is not the case, you may take a look in your X86Config file (or with sax2) to see if DPMS is enabled for the monitor. And in KDE's ControlCenter/Power Management.
