PCLinuxOS-2010-7,
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.6-pclos1.a64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 6 16:29:56 CDT 2010 i686 AMD Phenom(tm) 9550 Quad-Core Processor GNU/Linux

I disabled the sleep functions in some menu, and now find that no monitor control for power down is being done.  I normally expect it to power down about 20 minutes after I leave.

How can this be restored, since I cannot find those sleep and or hibernate functions again.?

Also, note localhost identifier despite the fact that hosts files are being used, and this address=machine name 'coyote' on my local network known as coyote.den.

I'd like to fix that too.

Thanks all.

If you right click on the main KMenu and select "Application Menu Launcher Settings" you'll see the sleep and hibernate options in there.
