Maybe your video card has more options than mine when it's using power_saving.. Maybe searching through the list archives a little for dpms vidcardname? Just glance at that file again and see if you see any more power oriented type things you can turn on and off. You want to ask on the list or look up for yourself before your turn something off you don't know about though. Just some ideas but I'm sure this must be something really simple. -- ========================================= URL: http://members.nccw.net/Leading_edge ICQ: 53156735 =========================================
