Now the confused it's me :-) Just trying to figure out what is going on with this control and why wouldn't I want to be able to change my power management setting from time to time? > > Can someone verify whether or not xset -q is supposed to reflect the > > power management popup? > > This is what I get: > > sm01@stt008:~$ xset -q > Keyboard Control: > auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000002 > auto repeat delay: 500 repeat rate: 30 > auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf > fadfffdfffdfe5ef > ffffffffffffffff > ffffffffffffffff > bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100 > Pointer Control: > acceleration: 3/2 threshold: 4 > Screen Saver: > prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes > timeout: 0 cycle: 0 > Colors: > default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 16777215 > Font Path: > > /home/sm01/.gnome2/share/cursor-fonts,/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,/home/sm01/.gnome2/share/fonts > Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled > DPMS (Energy Star): > Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 > DPMS is Enabled > Monitor is On > File paths: > Config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf > Modules path: /usr/lib/xorg/modules > Log file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log > > But that does not seem to match with my current settings: I have set the > screensaver to comes up after 15 minutes and the screen has to be powered > down after 30 minutes. Some more information: Each time I boot into my old user the output of xset -q reverts to : DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600 I need to go back into power management to and click "Make Default" to make it change back to: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 each time I reboot. Though I don't need to do this with the new user. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
