Screensaver - power management problems


Hi!

Iīm having problems with the screen saver and power management.

I donīt want the system to shut down the monitor, so I disabled everything, the screensaver and the power options.

But it STILL going on both (screensaver, shutdown) when I leave the computer idle.

Please help.

Thanks,
Raphael Rosenthal

In this context you should post some more informations baout your system, so that the comunity can help you easier. At first you Distribution and you desktopenvironment, and probably the kind of your system e.g. an centrino notebook from dell or a self made desktop with an amd 44 bit dualcore athlon, because the power managment highly depends on kernel settings, therefore the distribution, and acpi , therefore the kind of your computer. It is also important where you have disabled "everything" therefore the desktop environment.
By the way, take a look at this guide it gives you a good background information
