Tomasz,
I'm not sure about DPMS support - make sure you have a newer kernel that
supports DPMS/APM.
As for your question about virtual desktop, in your /etc/X11/XF86Config
file, toward the end, you will find a line that reads _something_ like:
(pardon my paraphrasing; I'm in Windows NT right now <g>)
Display
640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024
Anyways, the bottom line is important; for the largest resolution in this
line is the "virtual" one used for the others. FOR EXAMPLE -- if you have
1280x1024 like above, if you use CTRL-ALT-<-> to switch to 1024x768, etc.,
it will be a virtual 1280x1024.
My solution for your situation (14" monitor) would be to just list 640x480
as the ONLY resolution. It's when you do add the 800x600 that you enter
"virtual city." ;)
Hope this helps - email me for more detailed information and I'll make sure
I'm actually IN Linux.

----- Original Message -----From: Tomasz WzietekSent: Thursday, April 01, 1999 5:39 PMHello everyone,
I've been using Mandrake 5.2 for 5 days now and had no problems whatsoever.
Configuration went OK and I got most of the things I wanted to work. I still have a
few questions though and I hope someone can help me out:
1) how to enable DPMS features? I want my monitor to shut off after a specific time.
I
put 'OffTime 30' in XF86Config but the DPMS is not enabled. If I do 'xset +dpms' in
X,
it works alright but I want to have it set automatically. The manual for XF86Config
says that "power_saver has to be enabled". How?
2) how to turn off the internal modem speaker (mine is USR Sportster v.90/INT/D/F/V)
so that it's silent when it dials out? Is it posible at all? I often use my machine
at
nights and don't want to wake up my wife :-)
3) how to get rid of the Virtual Desktop feature in KDE? I commented out all the
instances of 'Virtual' in XF86Config which fixed the problem partially. Everything
is
OK in 800x600 but in 640x480 my screen behaves as if it were in virtual 800x600. (I
have a 14" monitor so I can't use anything higher and sometimes need 640x480)
