Tom, thanks for the suggestion, but setterm's man page is highly terse. Even
for a Unix man page! Terse to the point of uselessness. However, I figured
there had to be a straightforward way to do what I wanted, so I set out
looking.
I found that if you do a "man XF86Config" and search for "power_", you will
find several settings which can be put into the /etc/X11/XF86Config file to
control the power saving attribues. Unfortunately, (according to my docs)
only the Mach64 and S3 X servers have the power_saver option. "man XF86_S3"
will give more information on setting that option.
After a quick test, this seems to work as expected. Hopefully this
information can be helpful to others...
