Hi Del,
Just to add to this, for those of us who use XFree86 4.0 the options below
have changed format.
they now go in the following sections:
Section "ServerFlags"
...
Option "BlankTime" "10"
Option "StandbyTime" "15"
Option "SuspendTime" "20"
Option "OffTime" "25"
...
End Section
I believe this gets overridden by anything in the "ServerLayout" section.
Tis just a shame that this does not seem to work for me in X 4.0 :-(, I
don't think the drivers for my TNT2 Ultra support DPMS in 4.0, they used
to in X 3.x :-(.
Oh well. Hope this is useful to someone out there.
Cheers,
Kieran
