Re: XFree86 not actioning: Option "DPMS"

[Ian Greenhoe <ihgreenman@gmail.com>]

A couple of things:
1)  IIRC, all XF86 "Option"s require two arguments.

Have you tried:
Option "DPMS" "true"
or:
Option "DPMS" "1"
?

2)  IIRC, the "OffTime" option should be in the "ServerFlags" section
and not in the "ServerLayout" section.

HTH,
Ian
