       DM> I have OS/2 Warp 4 fixpack 15 running on a somewhat modern PC        DM> (early P4 era) with a Samsung CRT monitor. I'm using the free        DM> SciTech SNAP graphics drivers. This is working fine. While I        DM> have tinkered with OS/2 over the years, I am no expert. I am        DM> having difficulty figuring out how to set up the monitor to go        DM> into power-saving (suspend, stand-by etc) mode after a given         DM> period. I do not want the whole system to do this, just the        DM> monitor.               ok...               DM> I've run the SNAP tests for DPMS and they all work fine. But I        DM> can't find any settings to enable this. The closest would be in        DM> System Setup->System->Screen on page two (Monitor). There is a         DM> check enabling DPMS but no where to set a timeout.              right...               DM> And despite this being checked, the monitor never goes into any         DM> power-saving mode.              unless i'm forgetting something, it would be in the screensaver options...               DM> Searching Hobbes I found APM2 but that seems to be designed to put         DM> the entire system into power-saving with no control to choose         DM> just the monitor.                DM> Can someone point me in the right direction please? :)              check the screen saver options...              )\/(ark              ---         * Origin: (1:3634/12.42)    |
