No, what you want is "xset s off" - the setterm line is for text consoles. (The blanking of the X screen is not actually the same as the blanking that happens on text consoles). While you're looking at that, you may want to check out "xset +dpms" - a better blanking for power-saving monitors. (test it with "xset dpms force standby") As always, the man page (for xset) will give you more information. -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST.
