Monitor turn off
Hi guys, I don't write very often here, but this one I just cant find it on forums or I'm just using the wrong keyboard, but I just cant find it. I'm on slack 10.2 with kernel 2.6.15.6. I'm trying to make my monitor to shutdown after being idle for a period of time, like 10 minutes. I tried using default KDe control center Power Control, but it didn't shutdown my monitor, it just made it black ? The power was still on, but the monitor image just turned to black? I tried every option also, but none of which did help. Then I tried addingi n xorg DMPS option and ServerLayout to 10 minutes, it worked only 1 time though. After I did that, it did turn off my monitor after 10 minutes and after i resumed it with mouse and tried leaving it idle again, it never did shutoff again...What am I missing out on? Sorry if this been covered already, but I just couldnt find it no where...I usually post as my last option...Thanx in advance!

It's actually DPMS. It should look something like this:
Option "DPMS" Hope this works. |
yup, this works for me on viewsonic vx900, Nvidia Fx5200
Code:
Identifier "My Monitor" |
It doesn't work and this is I how I got it setup....
Code:
Section "Monitor" |
My xorg.conf doesn't have this last lines yours has, just guessing here, maybe comment them out?

doesnt work without them either, but if you dont have the lines, where do you specify the times for the monitor to turn off?
|
i specify the times for the monitor to turn off like this:
kde ->right click on desktop ->configure desktop ->display ->power control ->enable dislay power management ->standby after ->10 min |
LOL it actually got it fixed that way! Thanks so much! I took out the serverlayout option and left DPMS option, then went to configure power management and set up stand by time and it worked, thank you!

lol, good to hear it worked!
