Hi Harvey, I have the P6DGE (only 1 PII at the moment). Are you refering to blanking the Console screens or from X? In either case, here's what I have set: In the BIOS: Power Management: ACPI Awars OS : NO Power Management/APM : Enabled Power Button : On/Off Green PC Monitor Power State : Suspend Video Power Down Mode : Suspend Hard Disk Down Mode : Suspend Hard Disk Timeout : Disable Power Saving Type : Sleep Standby/Suspend Timer Unit : 4 min Standby Timeout : Disable Suspend Timeout : Disable Slow Clock Ratio : 50-62.6% Display Activity : Ignore Device 6 : Ignore Device 7 : Ignore Device 8 : Ignore Device 5 : Ignore Device 0 : Ignore Device 1 : Ignore Device 2 : Ignore Device 3 : Ignore LAN Wake-up : Disable
In the Kernel I do not have *any* APM features enabled. My understanding is that these features are really only for laptops (ie: machines with a battery for their power-supply).
In the system startup (/etc/rc.d./rc.M) I have the following line: /bin/setterm -blank 20 -powersave on
In my .xinitrc file I have the following lines: # enable DPMS xset +dpms xset dpms 1200 0 0

Try the above. I run NT on my system (when my job demands it, that is) and both OS's have no trouble with reviving from sleeping.
