Nope. xscreensaver was the first thing I tried. I have, however, found the secret, which is why I've copied this to -questions. The secret is to RTFM. :-) >From XF86Config(5), we have roughly three options which one may play with: options "power_saver" BlankTime time (minutes) (Default 10) SuspendTime time (Default 15) (Requires "power_saver") OffTime time (Default 30) (Requires "power_saver") BlankTime is the length of time until the screen blanks out. I don't completely understand the difference between SuspendTime and OffTime, they both do something to power down the monitor. They may not do the same thing. Since I don't fully understand these yet, I'm only furnishing this for the mail archives so hopefully when someone else comes looking for this they'll have a place to start looking. I'm going to experiment with these a bit and see if I can get a better grip on what they're doing. Party on, Brian
