[opensuse] How to turn off screen blanking?
Hello All, I have checked and turned off every power saving app under KDE3 on my desktop: openSuSE 10,3. I have set up my screen saver and all works well except, somewhere my LCD monitor is being turned off. I only want my screensaver to come on after 5 mins of inactivity. Are there other places besides KDE Control Center that I need to disable? I am not well versed in this. Any help would be appreciated. -- Keith Boykin You are what you think - so always think positively! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Keith, From a recent thread on this very topic: "start kpowersave from Applications > System >Desktop Applet and disable blanking there." Thanks to Rajko if it works! ;-) regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Have you checked your monitor? Some are programmed to turn off after a certain time, or at least to go black. Maybe the problem is not in your computer at all. This may be alterable. --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
