I've got an LCD monitor, and I have the nvidia graphics drivers (latest) installed (GeForce3). I edited my xorg.conf file, and added
Option "DPMS"
The BlankTime and SuspendTime I'm not quite sure where to add them, or HOW to add them.. either like this:
BlankTime 5
or:
Option "BlankTime" "5"
I've seen it both ways all over the net, and some people put these options in ServerLayout, sometimes in ServerFlags, sometimes in Screen. xorg.conf man page says to put these in ServerFlags, using Option. I tried that, but it doesn't work. And strangely, when I do "xset q", it says DPMS is disabled, even though I have Option "DPMS" in my monitor section.
What should I do? I know I can set DPMS and suspendtime via xset..but I still haven't figured out how to execute commands when X starts up (besides the GNOME session manager). .xinitrc doesn't work, .xsession doesn't work.
Thanks for any help.
