Screen Saver

Some graphics cards and monitors support the Display Power Management System (DPMS), which minimizes the power used by the monitor when user input ceases. If your hardware has this feature, the phases of DPMS can be controlled in this section. The typical DPMS setup has a cascade effect, with the various phases being activated in succession with your choice of delay times between each.

• X Screen Saver - Preliminary phase to DPMS, which blanks the screen but provides no power reduction.
• Standby Mode - First phase of DPMS, which provides moderate power reduction by disabling the horizontal sync signal to the monitor.
• Suspend Mode - Second phase of DPMS, which provides significant power reduction by disabling the vertical sync signal to the monitor.
• Monitor Off - Final phase of DPMS, which provides maximum power reduction by disabling both the horizontal and vertical sync signals to the monitor.
