25 I thought you were talking about between the Option and standby, suspend
26 or off time. Either way, it is not working. I set it to turn off after
27 a couple minutes and 30 minutes later it is still on. I even tried the
28 xset command and nothing changed. Also keep in mind, all this worked
29 fine until I upgraded xorg. I assumed something changed with the
30 options but I can not find what the new way is. It's not in the man
31 file you posted or in my xorg.conf.example file either.

33 This is the xorg stuff I have installed if it helps any:
