Power Management Not Working

Post by guitard00d »

Ya know, I've disabled the screen saver, display still goes to sleep in 5 to 10 minutes. Changed my power management settings to put the display to sleep in 30 minutes, but it still goes to sleep in 5 to 10 minutes. Used "xset" to attempt to modify the xorg DPMS settings, same problem. Tried disabling Gnome power management, same problem.

Tried Mint 8 with 3 other computers all with different video cards...Same problem...

Searched high and low on the web to find a solution, and nothing works. I'm out of ideas at this point, anybody got a solution at all?

You can access some additional power management settings by pressing ALT-F2, type gconf-editor, in editor left pane browse to apps->gnome-power-manager->general. Also check out http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=37376.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.
