DPMS is getting enabled:
grep -i dpms /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(**) Option "dpms"
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
I also see ACPI running:
ps -fe | grep -i acpi
root 9 2 0 06:43 ? 00:00:00 [kacpid]
root 10 2 0 06:43 ? 00:00:00 [kacpi_notify]
root 2444 1 0 06:43 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/acpid
hal 2487 2448 0 06:43 ? 00:00:00 hald-addon-acpi: listening on acpid socket /var/run/acpid.socket
I am using KDE4mod and I do have the "Power Control" setting enabled in the KDE4 Display - System Settings.
"Enable display power management" is checked off. "Standby after" and "Suspend after" are set to 30 min and "Power off After" is set to 45 min.
Am I missing something?
Thx

I think you have to use Option "DPMS" "True" in both the device and monitor sections. See: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA

I will try this, but for the record, this config did work before KDE4.
I recall when I used KDE 3, I had no problem.

How about if you run xset dpms force off?

I first read the topic as "my mother never goes to sleep anymore"
Thought "what the..., let's see what this is about"
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Sorry about all this. I somewhat forgot I am using a kvm switch.
DPMS works without the switch.
