I recently bought a video monitor with the VESA power saving features.
I have got the power save feature to work when I'm in a text console by
using "setterm -powersave" but I cant get it to work under X, even though I've
set the BlankTime, SuspendTime and OffTime and powersave parameters in the 
XF86Config file. Does anybody know how to get it working?

My setup:
Slackware 3.0 with 2.0.0 kernel
SVGA server with Cirrus Logic CL5430 chipset
XFree3.1.2
