I try to make use of the powersave-ability of my monitor. Typing
"setterm -powersave on" on a textconsole is working properly but how can
I set this at boottime for ALL textconsoles? I've put this command into
a little script in /etc/rc.boot/ however powersaving then works only at
tty0.

Under X I have not been successful at all. "xset s power" doesn't seam
to have any effect reagardless which argument I specify. From the xset
manpage I know:
"The 'power'  flag  allows the  power  saver  parameters to be set on
servers which  have  the  XFree86-Misc  server  extension."
So my second question is how to get this server extension for Debian or
how else could I get powersaving working under X?

My monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 20GLsi,
my videocard: Matrox Millenium (2MB).

Thanks a lot for any help in advance,

Markus.
