In ~/.bashrc, I have tried various setterm lengths, including 0 and 120. In KDE Control Center I've set screensaver to 120 minutes and unchecked the box "start automatically". In power control the only selection is "laptop battery", unlike in 8.2, which has a section "display power control". If I go into "yast modules" section "misc" and select "power management", all I get is a blank window. How do I stop my Sony 200GS display from blanking after only 10 minutes? -- "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Look under the peripherals--> Desktop in the control center. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 linux since 1994 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*

Controls Center has: Desktop (1) ... KDE Components (3) Peripherals (4) ... Power Control (6) Under (1) above, I see nothing having anything to do with power or the display. Under (3) above, I see nothing having anything to do with power or the display. Under (4) above, "display" -> "power control" settings are standby after 60 min, suspend after 120 min, power off after 120 min, all grayed out because I have unchecked "enable display power management". Under (6) above, I see nothing having anything to do with display power. So, why does my display blank after 10 minutes with power control disabled, but according to the control center settings with it enabled? -- "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Look in your BIOS for power management and/or screen blanking. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

I've changed nothing in the BIOS since replacing 9.1 with 9.2. Windoze and OS/2 give me no such problem. -- "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Try checking your desktop setting. I always change my blanking of the monitor on the desktop. At least I do it for gnome. Felix Miata wrote:

try 'xset q' from the command line. Xorg (and Xfree before it) defaults to 600 for blanking. If you wish, disable DPMS in the monitor settings of xorg.conf option "DPMS" "off" Bye Alle 05:30, giovedì 20 gennaio 2005, Joseph Loo ha scritto:

Thank you. I didn't know xset existed, and never could figure out what the Kontrol Center was calling to change settings. -- "The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
