So it's called the "Resize and Rotate System Tray App". (See attachment for
screenshot.) I clicked on help or about to find out the name.
Maybe you need to install it, or just find it. I forget how it is that it
found a home in my system tray, but it's a KDE3/TDE app.
I *believe* that it may be part of another package, perhaps
tdepowersave-trinity? In any case, I ran "apt-cache search" with the
terms "tray", "power", "resize" and "rotate", and
that is the only TDE app
that seemed to fit all the search terms.

I have tried that, up to 4000 4025 4050 minutes. Nominally 5
minutes later it powers down, and an xset -q shows:
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 450 Suspend: 600 Off: 900
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
And theres not a thing I can do about it.

Longshot, but try creating a new user? That'd at least isolate if
it's a config file or a system issue?
Best,
Michael Right-click, look for "configure
displays", then go to the tab
labelled "power management": unclick the box that says "enable DPMS
power save modes"; or you can configure power saving to something that
suits you better.
(For a desktop I find that power saving is useless or even
counterproductive, so I just switch off the monitor instead when not
in use. On a laptop, or in a setting where one wants the screen to
lock when unattended, this is a different matter, but I imagine it's
just Gene hanging out at home.)
Keyrect. With the missus in the shop, end stage COPD, I don't have a cat
to walk on keys. Just me.
