Hmm.. no go. I'm using frame buffer acceleration in combination with the ATI Rage LT Pro in my PB G3/400, and XF68_FBDev on top of that. Relevant output of 'xset q': Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes [.. deletia ...] DPMS (Energy Star): Display is not capable of DPMS I have tried using the "setvesablank" program, with no effect. All the screen does is black out, but not power down. -- John
