How do I adjust this setting? It looks like apmd is not just powering down your monitor but is suspending your whole system. I can't see why you would want this for a desktop machine. To set the timeout for energy saving display features in X, set the power_saver option and the associated timeout values. See man XF86Config. In console mode, see man setterm. -- Ron Golan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
