Re: [solved] dpms is not function!

I have those settings:

Section "Monitor"
    Option         "DPMS" "true"

Section "ServerLayout"
    Option      "BlankTime"  "10"
    Option      "OffTime" "20"

$ xset q | grep DPMS
DPMS (Energy Star):
  DPMS is Enabled

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [solved] dpms is not function!

solved the problem. in e17 you have now the ability to change the DPMS settings. but i don't know about this option, so it was disabled by default.
