In about 6 years of using FreeBSD I've never heard of one, or had a machine affected by one. I couldn't say that they don't exist, but I can say that you probably won't be affected by one. >=20 > 3.

Are there any options in your BIOS that control this? If you are using X you can use the `xset' command to determine when the monitor is blanked, suspended, then finally turned off - see the xset man page and specifically see the dpms options. =20 > 7.

Install it then check out the man page. =20 Nathan --=20 PGP Public Key: pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=3Dget&search=3D0xD8527E49 --ew6BAiZeqk4r7MaW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA6Y7IO0ZIEthSfkkRAkciAKDp/SJYpKVq5hLZf/5DX6bwdZZ3LwCdFIxi 5GVr2Wz7hdBru9wknxMBNUw= =IBxX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ew6BAiZeqk4r7MaW--
