Re: [SLUG] Making xset permanent?

[Kieran <kieran@nospam.ghost.dhs.org>]

Hi Del,

Just to add to this, for those of us who use XFree86 4.0 the options below
have changed format.

they now go in the following sections:
Section "ServerFlags"
...
	Option "BlankTime" "10"
	Option "StandbyTime" "15"
	Option "SuspendTime" "20"
	Option "OffTime" "25"
...
End Section

I believe this gets overridden by anything in the "ServerLayout" section.

Tis just a shame that this does not seem to work for me in X 4.0 :-(, I
don't think the drivers for my TNT2 Ultra support DPMS in 4.0, they used
to in X 3.x :-(.

Oh well.  Hope this is useful to someone out there.

Cheers,
Kieran
