Hi,

I'm new to linux and i have a Debian etch installation with gnome. It
works fine but i could not manage to set up a monitor standby delay. I
need it to switch to standby after 30 mins of inactivity.

Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf using your favourite text editor. Find the line that reads:

Section "ServerFlags"

After that line but before the corresponding "EndSection" line insert the following line:

Option "SuspendTime" "30"

You may also want to add lines for "BlankTime", "StandbyTime" and/or "OffTime" to override defaults for those modes. See 'man 5 xorg.conf' for more details.

After you've edited that file, you'll have to restart X for the changes to take effect.
