I have this in my xorg.conf file to cut off the monitor when I am at the login screen. > Option "dpms" > Option "standby time" "5" > Option "suspend time" "10" > Option "off time" "10" However this is what xorg.0.log says about it. > (**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled > (II) Loading extension NV-CONTROL > (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "standby time" is not used > (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "suspend time" is not used > (WW) NVIDIA(0): Option "off time" is not used This is what xset says about it: > DPMS (Energy Star): > Standby: 2400 Suspend: 2400 Off: 2400 > DPMS is Enabled > Monitor is On I have this in rc.conf so I use kdm for my login thingy. > # What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | entrance ] > DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" I logged out and did a cntrl alt bcksp to make sure it reloaded the new config but it still ignores my setting. I use KDE and have different setting for power management in it. I want it to stay on longer when I am logged in but not when I am logged out. Can someone tell me the new way or point me somewhere?? This is weird. I searched the forums and found people complaining that theirs cut off and they wanted it to stay on and I am having just the opposite problem. I can't get mine to turn off right. Thanks Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
