I've noticed that the monitor is no longer being powered down at night or when I am absent for several hours. This was working just fine until recently, so I may have turned something off in the .config that disabled this function. Currently running 2.6.27-rc4. Uptime is a couple of days as I had to check something in the bios recently, which is not related to this AFAIK. I use kde-3.5.9 and all that is setup and looks normal in kcontrol. Is there an interface bit in /proc or /sys that I can write to to test this? What specific options in the .config are required for this to work? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
