After disabling dpms, I again experienced the slowness issue similar to #682816. After leaving the box with a locked display, I type my password, unlock the X session and find that almost everything (especially the text displayed inside XTerm windows) is repainted extremely slowly. If I close all the graphical applications and try to exit from the X session (which was started with startx), I never get back to the console. Hence I cannot login again and the only way out is to press the power button to shut the system down (luckily the power button press event is handled and triggers a clean shutdown...). After doing this, I found the attached snippet inside /var/log/kern.log: it's really similar to what I obtained with dpms on, although not identical. Maybe #714531 and #682816 are two sides of the same coin? -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
