Monitor Poweroff in KDE

(1/2) > >>

billy_gates:
How do I set the monitor to turn off in 10 minutes in KDE. (Or the whole Linux System, If required)?

voidmain:
"Control Center"->"Power Settings"

The "Control Center" icon should be on your task bar (looks like a circuit board or something). All kinds of power options in there including monitor. I am running KDE 2.2.2 so if you are not, your mileage may vary...

billy_gates:
thanks very much, that "power off" was misleading. I thought it meant shutdown the computer

pbharris:
hello,
if you like to control this on system side (i.e. when you are not logged in) enable dpms in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.  This is under the moniter section and need to look like this:
Option "dpms"

Hiya folks, similar concern here i think,

when i halt the machine in red hat 7.0 on my laptop, it halts okay, but displays no "system successfully halted" information on the screen. (i am halting from either GNOME or KDE btw) then i have to switch the machine off by pushing the power button.

Now, when shutting down windows on the same machine, it will display an "it is now safe to turn off your computer" screen (how patronising) and then it will automatically turn off the machine (that's if it hasn't crashed before shut down time!) and i was wondering how to get linux to do these two things?

i know it will be a very simple and easy answer but i wouldn't know how to begin to figure it out myself, so if somebody has the inclination to post the answer, that would be great, ta!
