If not, why are you against it? indeed that is my question too. there was a time long ago in the early age of crt's where i think dpms may have made screens misbhave. they didn't understand it so when the video signal was cut, they would display some garbage instead of turning off, but these screens are long gone and buried, not to mention even rare back then. i don't see the point either in NOT having dpms enabled (unless u want the screen on ANd displaying something all the time - eg your tv - watching movies - no timeout). -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
