Blanktime, StandbyTime, SuspendTime and OffTime in the "Screen" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config. See man XF86Config. Note that this has never worked perfectly for me. My monitor will go into standby and suspend, but doesn't see to always do it at the times I have set. Note also, that this will only work if and while you are running X. Without X (just running at a command prompt with no windowing environment) the screen will just blank. This blanking is done in the kernel config I think. Can't help you with that. The kernel blanking will also take effect while running X. This means that if you set BlankTime to something longer than the kernel's blanktime, or don't set it at all, you still going to get the kernel blanking, unless someone else can tell you how to change the default blanking that Linux does without X. HTH. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo! Greetings! http://greetings.yahoo.com
