It seems that my display using Ubuntu 8.10 on my Dell XPS M1330 doesn't turn off even if I have set it to go off after idling for 12 minutes.

QUOTE(Cannonfodder @ Mar 18 2009, 11:11 AM) I find GNOME-power-manager to be very unreliable on my computers as fas as sending displays to sleep is concerned. It will work for a few times before completely stopping to work again for the rest of the session. Yes, this is what I've been facing after deciding to give Ubuntu another try. For my laptop that is usually switched on 24 hours, it doesn't seem practical at all that the monitor is switched on all the time.  |

QUOTE(Cannonfodder @ Mar 18 2009, 03:14 PM) If you face this issue, you will face it no matter which distribution you use. The GPM is the same as long as you use GNOME. Why don't you give KDE a try, I think you should be able to get 4.2 in Ubuntu backports. I run KDE 4.2 in Fedora and as far as power management is concerned, it's very reliable. How will I be able to give KDE a try? Any short guide to this? |

QUOTE(Cannonfodder @ Mar 18 2009, 06:14 PM) See this. I mean for Fedora, I think I want to give Fedora a try as Ubuntu 8.10 does seem to have some performance issue.I'm not sure what's in the Kubuntu repos, 4.1 or 4.2. If it's 4.1, you might want to skip it, it's not the most stable thing you'll use. |
