I want my display to blank (or "off" or "suspend" or "standby" or
whatever) if it is left idle for a long period of time. I have this
working in GNOME if I am logged in and leave the screen saver running,
but I want it to work even if the gdm login screen is displayed. I
looked at 'man XFree86-4' and found the following relevant options :
# time is in minutes
Option "BlankTime" "35"
#Option "StandbyTime" "2"
#Option "SuspendTime" "3"
Option "OffTime" "60"
They are in the "ServerLayout" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
However I don't see anything happen if I watch gdm for a while. (I
tried smaller numbers before so I wouldn't have to wait long) I also
have
Load "dpms"
in the "Module" section and
Option "DPMS"
in the "Monitor" section.
Any ideas why the monitor doesn't go black?

If your company is not involved in something called "ISO 9000" you
probably have no idea what it is. If your company _is_ involved in ISO
9000 then you definitely have no idea what it is.
