Question Monitor doesn't power down after some idle time at the login screen in RHEL 5.2 64


Hi,

I have a DELL optiplex 760 machine with ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3470 video controller. I have installed RHEL 5.2 64 bit OS in this. Kernel version is 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5. When I first installed this, even the screen saver was not working. Then I did an update of xorg packages using yum and later the screen saver started working fine. However,I need my monitor to power down after sometime at the login screen, which is not happening as of now. Is there any way to fix this, may be by modifying any config file or by installing any of the packages?


Thanks,
Sumanth

Hi,

For my Integrated ATI Radeon HD 3300 GPU VGA i've installed ATI's closed source driver. I advice you try to install this driver too.
