I'm a newbie and lost and that's just the beginning! After turning on monitor power management shutdown and reboot doesn't work properly. After selecting either shutdown or reboot it hangs at a blank screen with the mouse pointer only showing. If it matters I'm using KDE with an Samsung SyncMaster 753 and ATI X700 video card.
hmm pls state your distro.....and powermangement needs either acpi or apm running
so pls advice do you have a desktop (assumed yes) so check if acpi and acpid are running pls......Mandriva has a services section...needs root password to access where you can see what services are running.
(2) you also need a kernel or module that enables powermanagement but if acpi is running it must be so.
Perhaps I can answer those questions. Fastmach is my dad, he's not here right now, etc.
Currently he's running SUSE 10.0 and acpid is running. All of his power management settings seem to be working fine. The problem is that as long as he has power management enabled for his monitor, the machine hangs at KDE shutdown.
Yes, power management is configured on the bios. I played around with the settings, but nothing would change the situation. I also looked at the bug list for a bit, but I couldn't find anything too helpful.
If you have no other suggestions, then thanks for the help anyway.
