Using the DPMS screen saver with CDE
When your system is running Solaris 2.5.1 or later, CDE allows
you to enable a Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS)
screen saver. DPMS provides a standard way to manage the
power used by your display. DPMS shuts off the video signal to
the display when it is not in use. This reduces the power con-
sumption and extends the life of the display.
You can enable DPMS through the Style Manager, just as you
would invoke any screen saver. You can also turn off DPMS to
prevent your screen from powering off during times when you
use the display frequently.
To set up the DPMS screen saver
