I am currently running SuSE 7.1 with the 2.4 kernel and KDE 2.1. I have the power management features enabled in KDE Control Center. Xset also reports that power management is enabled. However, the monitor remains on if after 24 hours of non use!! Has anyone else had similar problems? Is there something that I am missing or have overlooked? Would be grateful for any advice or help.
I am running 6.4 with X 4.0.2 and kernet 2.4.2.
I have had this problem in the past. Solution is in Readme files for X 4.x.x.
In the file /etc/X11/XF86Config, under Monitor section, put option "dpms"
Under section ServerLayout, put:
Option "BlankTime" "10" Option "StandbyTime" "20" Option "OffTime" "45".
This arrangement has enabled power saving for me over the last several X servers, and kernel versions.

Thanks Ed I have tried something like that without any success but I will give a try. At home, I found that if I switch to a console screen it works quite happily. I suspect that either something in the XFree setup or the KDE 2.1 setup is preventing it from kicking in. I will let you know if I have any success. Eddie

I have tested it and it works perfectly. Thanks again. Eddie
