When I click on any of the xpuzzles programs (xhexagons usually, but I just tried it with xrubik) DPMS kicks in and blanks the screen.
Attempted fixes: xset -dpms (works, but not helpful) Option "noaccel" (doesn't work) Option "sw_cursor" (doesn't work) Disable APM in BIOS (doesn't work, or the kernel overrides it?) Changing screen resolutions (doesn't work) Potato xfree 3.3.5-2 xpuzzles 5.4.4-4 kernel 2.2.13 (custom), APM-enabled, poweroff enabled (doesn't work) AMD K6/266 w/MMX stepping 00 APM BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x07 Driver version 1.9 XFree86 Version 3.3.5 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300) Release Date: August 23 1999 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
