 |

Hoping for some advice regarding DPMS. Screen blanking seems unreliable. Sometimes it works and other times I can leave the box and return later to find the screen has not blanked. The monitor never appears to go to a suspend state, only managing to blank the screen. The same monitor does go into suspend under windows using the windows generic PnP monitor driver.
If I have dpms options set in XF86Config, do I still need to enable screen blanking or dpms options in a window manager such as kde or will these override the XF86Config file options?
Also how does the nvidia dpms option below relate with the others?
In my XF86Config I have: | Code: | Section "ServerFlags"
Option "blank time" "10"
Option "standby time" "20"
Option "suspend time" "30"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "19 inch Monitor"
HorizSync 31.0-96.0
VertRefresh 50.0-150.0
Option "dpms"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia Ti4200"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
Option "NoLogo" "1"
Option "RenderAccel" "1"
Option "DPMS" "on"
EndSection

| OK, just discovered xset -q shows the current dpms times so this will help some. |
