RE: [expert] APM and KDE?
I hate it when my monitor shuts off while running that Matrix screen saver! Check your /etc/X11/XF86Config file for a line in the "Graphics Device" section that says Option "power_saver" Just comment it out, restart X and it should be fine. -Original Message- From: Support To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 8/8/00 10:10 AM Subject: [expert] APM and KDE? Hello, I've installed MDK 7.1 on a system and I'm currently using an antique 15" monitor with it. When using X (with KDE) I notice after 15 minutes or so the screen goes crazy.

Re: [expert] APM and KDE?
I have had the same problem with MDK7.1. Mine first occured when i misconfigured the sound card and it seemed to have been resolved after I found appropriate settings. At the same time, I have a defective internal modem card and it may well be a problem for KDE (or my setup of it). I am getting a modem replacement and will see if that improves the situation.
