X doesn't do power management with flat panels by default. http://www.penguinppc.org/~daenzer/XFree86-4.2/patches/ati-dpms.diff is a patch to remedy that when Option "UseFBDev" is used (which is recommended anyway). It's applied in my 4.2 binaries at http://www.penguinppc.org/~daenzer/XFree86-4.2/ . -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
