   Suspend Monitor

   Hi,   
      
   I have OS/2 Warp 4 fixpack 15 running on a somewhat modern PC (early P4 era)    
   with a Samsung CRT monitor.  I'm using the free SciTech SNAP graphics    
   drivers.  This is working fine.  While I have tinkered with OS/2 over the    
   years, I am no expert.  I am having difficulty figuring out how to set up the    
   monitor to go into power-saving (suspend, stand-by etc) mode after a given    
   period.  I do not want the whole system to do this, just the monitor.   
      
   I've run the SNAP tests for DPMS and they all work fine.  But I can't find    
   any settings to enable this.  The closest would be in System    
   Setup->System->Screen on page two (Monitor).  There is a check enabling DPMS    
   but no where to set a timeout.  And despite this being checked, the monitor    
   never goes into any power-saving mode.   
      
   Searching Hobbes I found APM2 but that seems to be designed to put the entire    
   system into power-saving with no control to choose just the monitor.   
      
   Can someone point me in the right direction please? :)   
      
   Thanks,   
   Doug
