Monitor Power-off and Mouse Nav Buttons

[chadkeffer]

I have two questions:

1. How do I disable the power-save on my monitor? After a few minutes it powers off and I find it annoying. Basically, I don't want ANY powersave on my monitor. How do I permanently set it to be "always on" in both console mode and X/kde?

2. I have a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical USB with buttons on the side (one one button on each side, plus the normal two and scroll wheel) that I normally use to move forward/backwards in a web browser. How do I configure those to work in KDE? Is there a line I need in my xorg.conf?

Thanks!
