What do you find grepping DPMS in Xorg.0.log? Are you explicitly turning DPMS off in xorg.conf or 50-monitor.conf? I have to think your upgrade to 11.3 came from an earlier release in which enabled DPMS was not the default but did still use xorg.conf by default, neither of which is the case in 11.3 I expect. I'm guessing Power Devil takes over DPMS duty, leaving the DPMS default in charge if Power Devil is disabled - unless you explicitly disable DPMS as well. Some people rather than try to figure out how to disable Power Devil just leave it in charge and change its settings to the maximum selectable times.

The fglrx (for ATI) does not honor the following, but the NVIDIA driver does, at least on my box. I manually created my own xorg.conf and in the monitor section I have the folowing: Section "Monitor" Option "DPMS" "false" I had to resort to this because one of my monitors (the CRT one) has an intermittent problem sometimes when it suspends. -Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If all else fails, you can try xset -dpms Note that this command needs to be issued every time you start X as the setting is reset to the default when you log out. Tom -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You can also use "xset q" to find out the actual DPMS status; check that this matches what Power Management thinks it's set to.

Hi Will and everyone else Yes i have used xset -dpms in xinitrc seems to have done the job I had noticed that the monitor sections both had option dpms no in them so it was taking no notice of that one yet it is using the xorg.conf for my setup 2 monitors xinerama Cheers Pete . -- Powered by openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel: 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.5.5 (KDE 4.5.5) "release 1" 19:47 up 1 day 6:45, 4 users, load average: 0.19, 0.25, 0.26 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't think "no" is valid for option "DPMS". I think it must either be "on" or "off" or "true" or "false", and with quotes.
