I find it all somewhat confusing. APM, ACPI, others... |

Before I took dpms out of xorg.conf the monitor was being blanked after |
| 12 |
about five minutes. If kdm was still showing its login screen at that time |
| 13 |
the machine would lock solid. Having removed dpms the period is now much |
| 14 |
longer, but I still get a blank screen eventually. |
