[solved] Noob question: What is this % popup thing?

[oldgranola]

Playing with KDE LM17.1 on a light netbook. kenel 3.16.0-28. I keep getting a little popup showing a monitor icon and some variable number%. It seems to countdown fairly quickly but doesn't correlate with battery power ramaining or anything obviouse to me. When I 'do something' on the screen it resets to 60% or so, so perhaps relating to screen timout? But I can't seem to find the proper setting to make it go away. Its annoying and I'd just like it to go away. I don't see this on any of my Cinnamon or XFCE boxes. Cheers and thanks.

How about power control for the monitor, do you have some settings arranged to shutdown that device..
--the exact popup msg is probably important (as to what it is: refers to ?? )
Possibly laptop power control/tools is in play..(hibernate/sleep mode etc..)

I figure but thats what I'm asking. The box with a monitor and a Percent % number doesn't correlate to battery power left or anything I can see. he screen doesn't change brightness as that number changes. I have the battery set to notify at 20% and hibernate at 5% but thats all. Maybe I'll just turn power management off completely and see if it goes away.
