Not all monitors, video cards, motherboards, or BIOS support DPMS. Check with your hardware vendor if you experience problems with the DPMS driver. In case of incompatibility, you may not be able to use this feature with some host computers.

all your future sessions. To change your remote control preferences, click
Blank Screen in the toolbar.
