How do I get my Monitor to suspend?
Running nvidia 1.0-6629 GeForce FX 5200 card SuSE 9.2 Monitor is Sony HMD-A440/LXU The following is inside XF86Config:
under Section "Monitor" Option "DPMS"
and under "ServerLayout" Option "BlankTime" "20" Option "StandbyTime" "30" Option "SuspendTime" "40" Option "OffTime" "60"
Inside /var/log/XFree86.0.log I get the warning: (WW) Open APM failed (dev/apm_bios) (No such device)
How do I get /dev/apm_bios?
# l /dev/apm_bios crw------- 1 root root 10, 134 2004-10-02 09:38 /dev/apm_bios I get the same message, I don't know if APM needs to be active, I'm using ACPI.
When I'm logged out and kdm is waiting for a new login the screen will blank after a while but some time later the kdm login area (along with clock) will show on the screen. The display is somewhat distorted. The next morning I check the monitor and it was still warm and the monitor never went into standby let along suspend.
Does anyone know what else I should be configuring to get this system to suspend the monitor or at least send it into standby.
If I remember right the monitor use to power down to the point where the monitor was not warm the next morning. This was under SuSE 8.2
Thanks, Terry
I'm running the same card and driver on 2 boxes, must check that later.
