The video board (Diamond Stealth) and the monitor (MAG DX17F) also support power management. Since I upgraded from BSD/OS 2.0 to 2.0.1 (which includes the latest version of Xaccel), whenever I run X, my monitor goes into power saving mode after about 5 minutes of inactivity. Since I changed video boards and upgraded the OS at the same time, I'm not sure which one is responsible for this. I think it's probably Xaccel because it doesn't happen when I'm not running X. At any rate, does anyone know how to change the timeout period? Five minutes is so short it's just annoying. TIA Eric
