Update:
I have managed to get the output of xset -q to properly reflect the
power-management popup configurations by playing around with the various
settings and clicking the make default button. Some the screen does not
go into power save now. The odd thing is that I can't make them go back
to the way they were.
Confused.
Can someone verify whether or not xset -q is supposed to reflect the
power management popup?
Thanks
