That should not be the case. According to the xscreesaver man page, xscreensaver should notice when the X server has kicked in DPMS and shut the monitor off. It doesn't manipulate dpms at all. See the "POWER MANAGEMENT" section of the man page. One very odd thing is the output that 'xset q' gives during this whole process. Say I first do 'xset dpms 60 300 600' followed by 'xset q' I see what I expect: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 60 Suspend: 300 Off: 600 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is Off However, a few minutes later, 'xset q' gives totally different results: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 10 Suspend: 10 Off: 10 DPMS is Disabled I could understand if I was running something like GNOME or KDE that they might want to manage DPMS on their own, and could screw up some of my settings, but I'm not using them. The only clients are xscreensaver, some Eterms, Window Maker, xconsole, and xset. This strikes me as strange enough to possibly warrant a trip out of the comfy confines of the familiar Debian lists and into the unexplored region of the XFree86 mailing lists. 8^) noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
