Help.. My Monitor is turning off after 10 minutes of inactivity or so. How can I turn off the power management so that my Monitor won't turn off.

Thanks

in xfree86 3.3.x use xset -dpms in an init file, that may also work in xfree86 4.0.x,
in xfee86 4.0 i use Option "DPMS" -so make sure that line is not in there.

Ok, I tried that but still the display turns off into a blank screen before the screensaver even pops up.

I disable the screensaver as well.

I used xset q to check status and DPMS is disabled.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Got any power management enabled in the BIOS?

That would have been my suggestion until I scrolled down and saw that David had already posted it.

The first place I would look would be the BIOS.

Anymore suggestions?

???

Are you using KDE? maybe Gnome?

Is there anything in the KDE Control Centre that may have a setting for power management? Not sure what it would be for Gnome.

Checked the docs and faq's at www.kde.org? (http://www.kde.org?)
