FWIW, I'm using a Sony G500 under 4.2-STABLE. In my ~/.xinitrc file I have the commands: xset +dpms xset dpms 300 1200 1800 This makes sure that the Display Power Management features of the X server are enabled, when I fire up X11. The times for blank, stand-by and poweroff that you see in the second command are given in seconds. - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
