monitor sleeps after 30 seconds
Dec 12th 2012, 04:44

I've run into a strange issue after a recent 12.2 install, which is that my monitor (Samsung T260HD) will go to sleep after I am idle for 30 seconds (unacceptably short for me, it's really annoying). Originally, I did not have this problem, but whenever the monitor was put to sleep by power management settings, it would go into a cycle where it repeatedly wakes itself up and goes back to sleep every few seconds (displaying "DVI input" and then falling back a sleep, without ever showing the desktop). I fiddled a lot with the power management and screen saver settings to try to prevent this, and the new problem started. Certainly every setting I can find is set to way higher than 30 seconds. It still does the cycling thing whenever it sleeps, but my main concern is the 30-second thing. The timing is consistent. Any ideas?

Another complaint is that one of my fans (not 100% sure which yet) runs a lot faster (hence louder) under openSUSE than Ubuntu or Windows, even when idle, and I'm not sure why. I haven't even begun to try to troubleshoot this on my own, but I figured I'd mention it in case anyone knows what's causing it...
