Monitor goes to sleep after a few minutes [SOLVED]

I'm using Maya kde amd64. My power management settings for the monitor are off, so this doesn't make sense. What else could be putting the monitor in sleep mode?

It is xorg.conf that does that.
Add the text below in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
Code: Select all
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection

That didn't last long...it is back; the monitor goes to sleep after a few minutes and the changes to the xorg.conf file are still there.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection

I posted something in I think 'open chat' is VLC whacky or what? Find that, maybe it helps. My monitor would stay on fine, according to my settings, for a few hours or a few days. Then all of a sudden it would turn off after 10 minutes. Every 10 minutes. Didn't matter if I was just at a desktop, on internet, playing video etc. Every suggestion I found across the entire world of the internet didn't cure it. I started paying attention to what I was doing just before it started and narrowed down the offender to VLC. Read that post, there are more details.

This doesn't happen when using VLC; actually there are no problems when using VLC. The happens especially when watching content on the web, like Hulu and Crackle.

I believe that this problem has resolved itself after I disabled power management and removed and then re-installed the power management software packages. Does anyone know why this is happening in the first place? This had not been a problem until I installed Maya.
