Having found that power management is off by default, I just turned
mine on via the screensaver. I had to adjust the times to suit my
needs. My power management works if the terminal is left in login
mode but didn't if the user was logged in.
It also doesn't work if the user is logged in and the screensaver is off.
Before I moved to FC4, I used a shell login and used setterm to adjust
the power management features. I think that there may also be
something in the BIOS on some computers to achieve this.
