Screen turns off

The screen will shut off every so often. I right clicked on the desktop and deactivated the screen saver. Also, in that same menue, i went to the power control and deactivated those options. What else is controlling this? Thanks!!!

I think maybe putting a hash # in front of DPMS in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in the Monitor section may help ex:

 

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor1"
	VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
	ModelName	"Dell 1702FP (Analog)"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertSync values to use DDC:
	HorizSync	30.0 - 80.0
	VertRefresh  56.0 - 76.0
	#Option	 "dpms"

I know i'm new to linux but perhaps this might help.

 

I had the same problem with Mephis 6.0. I went to their help site and i was directed (after shutting down what i had already mentioned above) to go to the 'KPowersave Settings' and shut those off. Is there something like this in Mandriva 2007? I'm wondering if it's the same thing.

The only other place I know for monitor settings is in the Control Center/Center however you want to spell it, and then Peripherals/Monitor/Power Control. Maybe that's it?!?
