I never go down there or even into the shell unless I need to. Suse and then 
Opensuse were rather good on this aspect but the install has worsened with time 
and the desktop system utility is no longer supported so has been dropped. ;-) I 
posted that lot just to show that there are other ways than those suggested by 
the many shell bashers. The other problem on opensuse is that there are many 
many sets of out of date instructions and one click installs about in all areas 
that are sure to mess the system up. Anyway as I found web doc abounds but not 
really that helpful as there are zero examples I'm aware of or could find I 
posted it as it might help some. The reads have grown enormously since last time 
I looked. There are many very helpful people on that forum but most have their 
way of doing things and wont even consider other ways.

By the way 2 dpms's in my case worked. 1 didn't. I suspect this is down to some 
newer graphics cards. Not sure.
