Re: xset and screen blanking?

Thanks for the quick reply. This is a voyager, and it
has a slightly modified CG6 inside. Where can I get
the screen blank patch for CG6?

BTW, I am logged into windowmaker as root- I'll check
the DISPLAY variable but I'm almost certain that it is
correctly set (i.e. yast & works fine).
