Which is for me, 100% of the time, so xdm installed.

did that and installed xdm, reboot is next. But apt claimed there were
several hundred packages (353 count) that could be autoremoved. Is that
normal after an iso install and update to 10.6? I did the autoremove,
linuxcnc still runs, so I think we are in business. 34 minutes after the
reboot:

gene@lathe:~$ xset -q

DPMS (Energy Star):

I believe thats what we wanted.
The above now shows blanking off, expose on, and DPMS off after the
reboot and no one has yet logged in locally, looks good.
Thanks a bunch, Dan
