Just had a look at my /etc/X11/XF86Config file, looking for those lines and realized that I have 'Section "Screen"' defined four times: Section "Screen" Driver "Accel" Device "video" Monitor "monitor" ... Section "Screen" Driver "SVGA" Device "Generic VGA" Monitor "monitor" ... Section "Screen" Driver "VGA16" Device "Generic VGA" Monitor "monitor" ... Section "Screen" Driver "VGA2" Device "Generic VGA" Monitor "monitor" ... and for all four: BlankTime 0 SuspendTime 0 OffTime 0 ... and 'Section "Device"' is defined twice. In /etc/X11/Xserver I have: /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3V Now, is BlankTime = StandbyTime? As I use xdm, I suppose I would have to reboot before the changes have effect? (I just did it but it did not work): BlankTime 2 SuspendTime 3 OffTime 4 One problem I have every now and then with X is that sometimes I exit (either "exit -> exit" or "exit session -> kill") and instead of showing xdm's login prompt, the whole thing hangs with a colour striped screen (can't even go back to console mode), is this related to my configuration? Also, I have ctrl+alt+end configured for powering off (shutdown with apm enabled), and that works from the console; how could I enable a similar thing from X?
