Ignore that suggestion.
Leaving the monitor fully on all
I'm curious about this as well. My monitor docs say that repeated
degaussing (T <= 20 min) is bad, so if your monitor does that on
"reboot" maybe this is something to consider? Anyway, as I tell my
students: no idea, but tell me if you find out. -chris

I'd think that's the preferred way for Global defaults...
Thanks to all who responded to my query.
As my main interest was in saving the monitor I accepted the suggestion
of setting the "BlankTime" in XF86Config.
I hadn't even thought of that one. So no need for a screensaver at all.
I have yet to decide whether the life of the monitor is affected by
cy
xset ... xset
Could someone tell me what is wrong with setting
BlankTime xx
SuspendTimeyy
OffTimezz
in XF86Config
you can also start xscreensaver in xdm (if you use xdm of course!)
startup files - see /etc/X11/xdm/*
then anybody who starts X (using xdm) will have the screensaver...

try to experiment with xset dpms from xterm, once you find it works,
add it to one of the x startup files, I suggest xdm startup file (see
/etc/X11/xdm/*), what I do is set xscreensaver to start "saving" in
something like 10 minutes and xset dpms to turn off monitor after 30 min
or something like

Hello,
I'm running potato on a desktop and a laptop using
ice-wm/gnome in X.
The laptop is set in the bios to blank the screen and that's fine.
The desktop screen blanks in console but not in X. I'm trying to wean my
family off windoze - but with limited success.
