X5000 power management

I am a new user of x5000 and when running idle for some time screen turns off which can be brought back moving mouse/trackball or using keyboard. Unfortunately I could not find a way to customize the time needed to turn screen off. More annoying is the "feature" of turning computer off completely if it stays idle more time. It is inconvenient and undesirable if some background task is being executed.
How I could turn off or modify this feature?

The screenblanker preferences are in the prefs drawer on the workbench partition. Under the "Timing" tab you can enter your own values or disable the features you don't want.

Quote:It shouldn't do that, it should only turn off the monitor. Touching a key (I usually use a Ctrl key on its own) should get the display back.

If it really does turn off your whole machine, there's something wrong.

Best regards,

Thanks for the info. Will keep an eye on those power off episodes. As for the screen blanker prefs, thanks a lot. I have not noticed there were other tabs in the window.

I have also had phantom power-offs on my X5000, but I traced it to a loose power supply connection.
