Before my recent first iMac experience I useed a B&W G3. On it I'd shut off 
all power saving devices and auto update so as to keep Diablo II up and 
running all the time. I'd simply switch the monitor off whenever I was away 
from the game.

I intended to do the same with my iMac, but it doesn't seem so simple. I'm 
using OS 9.1 and think I have all energy-saving stuff turned off. When I 
switch the monitor off though it seems more like putting it to sleep. Most 
of the time when I go back to my game one or more features are unavailable 
to me (esp right and middle mouse buttons) until I exit and restart the 
game. Or the game itself will crash with Type 2 error upon waking up.

Is there a way to simply turn the monitor on and off without putting it to 
sleep?

Thanks for any info.
