11.2, KDE 4.3 : Unable to disable display power management

view story
linux-howto

http://forums.opensuse.org – Hello, I want to disable display power management. I tried to achieve this by disabling 'Enable display power management' checkbox in the 'Configure Desktop -> Display -> Power Control' KDE configuration dialog. That didn`t help and display still goes into standby mode after some period of inactivity. Also, I tried to disable dpms functionality by calling 'xset -dpms'. That didn`t help too. Note that 'xset dpms force standby' command works as expected. So what I`m doing wrong ? Thank you /var/log/Xorg.0.log (Distributions)

DPMS Continually Re-enabled 43 weeks 2 days ago

Becoming a bit annoyed here. Using the graphical configuration tool for KDE, I have disabled power management stuff. This is a desktop for my personal use, and I am not interested in monitor blanking. The screen, however, continues to blank.

I have determined that the culprit is DPMS. xset q output shows that DPMS is enabled.

Screen flashes in suspend 3 years 26 weeks ago

I have a problem with the monitor suspend.

No matter what settings I used in KDE power management monitor section, my screen would shut off in around 10 mins. I was trying for 30.

I'm trying to figure this out, and not having any luck.

Under System | Preferences | Power Management

The Power Management Preferences dialog has a tab for 'On AC Power' and 'On Battery Power'.

Each of those tabs has a checkbox marked 'Dim Display when Idle'.

Ubuntu 12.10 quantal: On login, I run "xset -dpms s 0 0 s off". This works great until I suspend and resume. For some reason, dpms is re-enabled after resume. Is there an easy way to completely disable DPMS without recompiling X?

I don't see any problem with it. Try disabling screensaver and DPMS and see if your screen still turns off.xset s 0 0; xset dpms 0 0 0; xset -dpmsIf you want to revert your settings back:xset s 600 600; xset dpms 600 0 900More info here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DPMS

Let's have a try - let DPMS manage it instead of xscreensaver. Put these into your autostart:xset s on & xset dpms &

These commands turn the screen off

Code: xset dpms force standby xset dpms force off also my screen is not dimming on idle like it is set to
