    Monitor Powers off in X

    I am running Mandrake and booting to the command prompt. From here I remotely X into a UNIX server to run a graphica interface:

    $$ X -query 177.86.54.xxx -depth 8

    It works perfectly, but after about 5 minutes, the monitor goes into power saving mode. I've looked all over the internet trying to find out how to disable this. I tried:
    apm=off
    tset -s off
    setterm -blank 0

    nothing works...help

    Are you sure you haven't set the refresh rates too high for your monitor?

    Is ACPI=off an option?
