Shows Timing Slide bars and a check box to turn it on or off. Oh, I am assuming you are using KDE, other ways I don't know but if you look at the Linux-Mandrake mailing list archives, I know this was discussed before and you could find it with a word search.

And after you do that, there's one last very important step: Click on the help button to bring up the manual page, and read through it to the point where it talks about making your settings permanent. For some reason, if all you do is use the DPMS control window to set it up, it won't remember your settings after the next time you reboot. Then you're right back where you started. Follow the instructions for making a simple startup shortcut that goes in your startup folder. Then you can just set it and forget it. If for any reason you don't find the instructions, say so and I'll post them. Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
