To use X's DPMS you need to add the following to your .xinitrc just before invoking the Window Manager
xset +dpms
Question: Running KDE on SuSE 5.2 my xinitrc points to twm, which has no reference to $WINDOWMANAGER or kdm. But in my home directory there is ..xinitrc, which ends with: # # finaly start the window manager #
exec $WINDOWMANAGER
So I assume this would be the correct file to add the xset to?
The box is configured for root plus 2 users, so would the xset need to be added to the 2nd users .xinitrc in her home directory?
I haven't found a .xinitrc for root, so how would I get dpms to kick in for root?
For more info pls. do "man xset"
I did, but given my low level of Linux, it wasn't much help to me.
TIA

Sandy, I would guess/hope that this setting would be global. For now I just ran the xset command from a kvt prompt. Seems to work. (Thanks guys) I don't know much about the guts of Linux or X myself. Perhaps some one more knowledgeable will be able to explain this. Steve -- [<A HREF="http://counter.li.org"><A HREF="http://counter.li.org</A">http://counter.li.org</A</A>>] Yo Bill!
