[opensuse] How to turn off screen blanking?
Hello All, I have checked and turned off every power saving app under KDE3 on my desktop: openSuSE 10,3. I have set up my screen saver and all works well except, somewhere my LCD monitor is being turned off. I only want my screensaver to come on after 5 mins of inactivity. Are there other places besides KDE Control Center that I need to disable? I am not well versed in this. Any help would be appreciated. -- Keith Boykin You are what you think - so always think positively! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
