Very useful tip! I note two different settings on mine: |
| 13 |
============================= |
| 14 |
Screen Saver: |
| 15 |
prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes |
| 16 |
timeout: 600 cycle: 600 |
| 17 |
============================= |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
and |
| 20 |
============================= |
| 21 |
DPMS (Energy Star): |
| 22 |
Standby: 1200 Suspend: 600 Off: 2400 |
| 23 |
DPMS is Enabled |
| 24 |
Monitor is On |
| 25 |
============================= |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Where is Screen Saver set? I don't have anything in my xorg.conf . . . |

<OT> Also a bit of an OT question (apologies to the OP): my mouse is a |
| 30 |
bit jerky when I move it quickly in a straight line. The above query |
| 31 |
shows: |
| 32 |
============================= |
| 33 |
Pointer Control: |
| 34 |
acceleration: 2/1 threshold: 4 |
| 35 |
============================= |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Is this normal? How do I control its jerkiness? </OT> |
