I have OpenSuse 11.0 installed.
After a set time the monitor goes to standby and a key pressed or movement
of the mouse must be done to bring the monitor active.
I do not want this to happen. I have look in Yast2 for power settings and
have not found anyway to change this power saving setup.
Yast2 does not have a selection for power management.
Does anyone know how to stop this from happening? What needs to be changed
to prevent this and where do you change it?

Disable DPMS ("Display Power Management System") in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(or whatever its location is on your system).

Is there something in the BIOS settings, or on the monitor itself?

for X use

xset -dpms
xset s off

(may need to also uninstall screensavers etc)

for console it's done using

setterm -blank 0
