    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...
