The power saver feature doesn''t work. XF86config contains Option "Power_saver" in the device section I have tried to force the power saver mode using xset without any success It works under windows. My server : SVGA (xrage.rpm (XFCom_Rage128) ) My video card : ati rage 128 My monitor : Sony 210ES
It seems that the driver in Suse's package for XSVGA includes dpms features. Unofrtunately the packages is not RedHat compliant (keyboard and so on...) I suppose there is a way to solve this if one can recompile the driver with the good options
we do include DPMS support, the power_saver option isn't for all cards. You can either set up DPMS with the xset command, or via the BlankTime, StandbyTime, and SuspendTime Options for XF86Config.
I didn't succeed in setting up dpms features. The xset +dpms or xset dpms force standby commands do nothing I suppose something is wrong either in my XF86Config file or in the server itself. I join some pieces of my config file: Section "Device" Identifier "ATI|Rage 128 RF" Option "power_saver" EndSection Section "Screen" Driver "svga" Device "ATI|Rage 128 RF" Monitor "Sony CPD-210GS/210EST/T9" BlankTime 5 SuspendTime 15 StandbyTime 10 OffTime 30 Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1152x864" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection
