SuSE Linux: Versions since 6.4
XFree86: Versions since 4.0
You want to activate energy saving modes for your monitor.
The energy saving mode must be activated in the XFree86 4.0 config file. For
this you need to edit the file /etc/X11/XF86Config
. Go to the
section Monitor that looks something like:
Section "Monitor" HorizSync 31.5-90 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "DDC-Probed" VendorName "DDC-Probed" VertRefresh 50-100 UseModes "Modes[0]" EndSection
Add the option "DPMS" like this:
Section "Monitor" HorizSync 31.5-90 Identifier "Monitor[0]" ModelName "DDC-Probed" VendorName "DDC-Probed" VertRefresh 50-100 UseModes "Modes[0]" Option "DPMS" EndSection
After restarting the X server you can activate the energy saving modes with
xset dpms 600 1200 2400 # Standby, Suspend and Offtime in seconds
