Hi,

    I recently updated to kde3.1.3 on a SuSE 8.2 Professional AMD Athlon
machine with all YOU updates applied. I run a "blank screen" screensaver
that used to turn on after 30 minutes of idle time (this is still set in
"Control Center->Appearance & Themes-> Screen Saver"). I had DPMS disabled
in sax2 for my NEC 5FG (really a NEC 6FG). After about five minutes of idle
time, the monitor goes "off" and the "Lock/Logout" applet doesn't always lock
the desktop.

    I have experimented with "Control Center->Power Management->Display Power
Control" by enabling DPMS and setting "Standby after", "Suspend after", and
"Power Off After" all to "Disabled". I have toggle on and off DPMS via sax2
for the monitor (restarting the X server). Bottom line is nothing appears to
get me back to the old 30 minutes and blank.

    This is a problem because my NEC 6FG does not like being turn off. It is
old and comes back with distorted characters for five or ten minutes.

     Next problem, kstart doesn't do the right thing with mozilla 1.4. I have
eight desktops and an Autostart file that does:

    /opt/kde3/bin/kstart -desktop 8 -activate "/usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla
            -geometry 1103x904+0+0"

    And it always brings up mozilla on desktop 1. Any help would be
appreciated.

Regards,

Bob Pearson
