Post by daniel ramo » Sun, 24 Mar 2002 06:18:19



i have mandrake 8.1 with kde2 and xfree4
i tried to put "xset -dpms" on /etc/x11/xdm/Xsetup_0
........nothing
i tried to comment out the "dpms on" on /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
........nothing
i search for dpms things in my bios but nothing
and always the black screen after 15min and screen off after 30min

where are those parameters sets for xdm login screen ????

Have you checked your XF86Config-4 in the /etc/X11 directory?

There should be an option like:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "voodoo"
    VendorName  "Unknown"
    BoardName   "Unknown"
    Driver      "tdfx"
    Option      "AGPMode"  "1"
    Option      "DPMS"  "on"
    BusID       "PCI:0:10:0"
EndSection

Make sure you have the Option "DPMS" "off" setup in there.

Hope that helps.

Use KDE's Kontrol Centre to turn it off.

Try adding these to your XF84Config-4:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "BlankTime" "0"
        Option "StandbyTime" "0"
        Option "SuspendTime" "0"
        Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection

(see "man XF86Config" for more infos)
