Monitor..

[Its_ON]

My monitor goes black after some time.. :confused:
i move my mouse and it comes back .. i want it to stay ON ALL THE TIME..
ive checked and there are no Screen savers that are running,
ive also tried xset -dpms
im running Redhat 7 (2.2.16)
pen2 400, and on another comptuer AMD 500
my monitor is Samotron 48cm (19") 95P plus
im preaty sure its not my monitor,
i think its some settings in redhat,.. some kinda of power managment or something..
thx

I am at work right now(M$ machine) so I dont remember the comand line to change that, but I know for sure that it is an option in your kde or gnome start menu somewhere, It is under system or preferences..I think.

Either way I know its there, there is a Power management option. Just have a quick browse thru your start menu options, You wont miss it. When I get home I'll post exactly where and also the command line if its not fixed by then.

Good luck

there is an option in xfree86 4.0.x in the xf86config file, under the section moniter section. here is how i have mine, although to do the opposite of what you want.

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Panasonic PM15"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 30-69
VertRefresh 50-160
Gamma 1.2
Option "dpms"
EndSection


you can also set the standby time, much the same way, just set it for a very long time, zero may also work.

Yeah, try "xset dpms 0 0 0"
first is for monitor off second is for standby and 3rd is for machine off.
