Which ATI or S3 chips have SuspendTime/OffTime options under XFree?

Do the ATI rage128 chips have the SuspendTime/OffTime (power_saver for
VESA DPMS) options under XF86_SVGA. If not, does the mach64 server
support it.  Or else, which medium-low range S3-based cards support
it?

Thanks

You can see if the Mach64 Driver supports it by doing an 'xset dpms
force suspend' on the command line and see if it works.  I would get the
latest XFree86 (which won't hurt anyway).

1. Qe about BlankTime, SuspendTime, OffTime

Hi everyone,

I tried to save energy whith setting up the DPMS stuff of my monitor. I
found out about SuspendTime and OffTime from some news posts here in
this group and I browsed through XF86config(4/5). Okay, I know, in which
section to  put this commands. Unnessecary to mention that it didn't
work, thus this note... According to XF86Config(4/5), I have to set a
power_saver option. My question: where and how? Is that mentioned in ANY
man page?

Thanks in advance!

Holger
