I wonder if anyone can give me any pointers to the following issues:

1) Dell D610 seems to go into screensaver mode far sooner than the kde
screensaver settings should allow. This happens maybe three or four times
and then it settles down and behaves normally after moving the mouse cursor
to get out of the screensaver each time it happens.

2) Another Dell this time a desktop Dimension 5150 - if I don't have
firefox running then the screensaver kicks in at the prescribed time, and then the monitor goes into powersave at the prescribed timeout.
(There is no power management set in control center - if I set it then
X seems to crash at strange times). If firefox is running then the
screensaver comes in as normal but the monitor fails to enter powersave mode.

Both systems are fully updated F8 and running KDE 3.5 - these "features"
have been present for pretty for quite some time now and I wondered if
anyone has seen anything similar, or who might know a workaround?





I just noticed this the other day. I had to turn off power save to stop the power save from turning on in 1 minute which is my screen lock time.

The settings were turned down to test the problem and wouldn't switch back after.

At present, I have Standby set to 60 min Suspend 61 and power off at 62. But the system doesn't turn off overnight. Enable display power management is checked. (Before someone asks). I only changed it yesterday afternoon to test it.

As I use a CRT monitor the time to get back into calibration is important. I use CRT for the static contrast level.

If someone can point to the file or method to check that the Display Settings for Power Control are being fed to the system would be nice.
