However, ~/.kde/share/config/kcmdisplayrc contains only the following: [X11] exportKDEColors=false My power management seems to be working OK. I'm using KDE 3 on LM 9.0 as well.

I just splashed out on a 17 LCD monitor and I feel a bit dubious about leaving it powered up all the time. There must be some other problem that I don't know about, I may give gnome a try to see if that works ok Regards Pete ArdnamurchanScotland Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
