I can't stop DPMS from activating on my machine. After 30 minutes the screen blanks and the monitor goes off, and it happens again 10 minutes later - this is while I'm sitting using the computer! If I disable DPMS is xorg.conf, it still goes blank but without powering down the monitor. I originally thought this was a KDE bug, but it still happens even if all power management is disabled in the KDE control centre. KDE 3.2.3 doesn't fix it either. Jonathan
