RE: APM Disable
It look like the monitor doesnt shutoff, the led on the front of the monitor
doesnt even change. I think whats happening is maybe a screen saver that
black is coming on. How do I see if thats the case.

as of a few kernels ago in potato (at least a few months ago but i can't
remember when) apm support *is* enabled but you have to turn it on with an
option in your lilo.conf. i know this works cause i use it all the time on
my laptop. to get apm add this to your lilo.conf (run lilo) and reboot:
append="apm=on"

check out the command xset. i believe that is what you want.
