OpenLinux Server won't sleep
Mikhail Kuperblum
X just won't go into power saving mode. DPMS is enabled (xset confirms that),
computer BIOS also has power saving mode on, but machine just won't fall
asleep. Does any one know if anything could be done about it? Thanks.

I did not edit XF86Config by hand, but rather used KDE2 built-in
configuration utility. As I mentioned above "xset q" does show
the proper values, but there are summarily ignored.

*shudder* That may be your first problem. Never trust a GUI tool to do
the job.

Why not actually look at XF86Config to see if it has the correct values
in it?

Lonnie is right on that. I tried the KDE2 gui video tool. It keep wanting
to change my video card to one that I didn't have. Best to edit by
XF86Config by hand.
