Hibernate, green mode, blank screen screen saver (SuSE 9.0 Pro)
When I use a screen saver all I want is a blank/black screen with the monitor going into the power saving mode, not turning off completely of course, is there some settings on the Xscreensaver, or whatever, that will gurantee this? It only seems to work part of the time for me. ---Jim

Gee, it's a gui app. Make sure that *all* other screensavers are disabled, ie: kde. Open xscreensaver-demo and select the 'advanced' tab and what-ever parameters you want. man xscreensaver man xscreensaver-demo man xscreensaver-command Instructions are on the heel of the boot. -- 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

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. When I used 7.3 on that computer all I had to do was go into the command line mode, and the monitor would hibernate, it doesn't seem to do that with 9.0. ---Jim On Friday 11 June 2004 21:25, you wrote:
