Very Computer

I've recently installed Linux Mandrake 7.1 and I'm using
XFree86 4.0. Before, I was running RedHat Linux 6.1 with
XFree86 3.3.6 When I used to run RedHat, I had a line in
my .xinitrc that said 'xset dpms 0 0 300' and after 5
minutes of idle time my monitor would go into sleep mode.

Now, I'm still trying to use that same line to make my
monitor sleep, but it no longer turns off. Even if I
say 'xset dpms force off', my monitor doesn't turn off.
I'm sure it has something to do with the new X server
I'm running, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

X detects my monitor as a standard SVGA and my video
card is an nVIDIA TNT2 running with 32bpp at 1024x768.
If anybody could help me fix this, I would really appreciate
it. Thanks!

I looked there and I tried setting some options, but I
can't get any of them to work. Could somebody that has
done this already tell me which lines I need to add and
where? It would really be helpful. Thanks.

I have the same problem and if you set the settings
on the DPMS it will tell you a warning that
the current XFree 4.0 on Mandrake 7.1 has been
compiled without DPMS support.
Some other posts had suggested to add options DPMS
line on both the screen and monitor section of the
config file. I still have to confirm this.
