Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.6.3-2 Severity: normal
$ xset q says: ... DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 480 Suspend: 600 Off: 3000 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On but DPMS does not switch the monitor to anything else but "On." $ xset dpms force standby $ xset dpms force suspend $ xset dpms force off work as expected $ xset dpms 5 20 35 works also as expected but higher values seem to inhibit normal function. I find this hard to debug as I can't wait one hour on purpose... <-: I have 'Option "DPMS"' in the Monitor sectino in my xorg.conf file, but I don't see anymore where the default values get set. Some years ago with XF86 it was also in the X-config-file (XF86Config)... But I think this does not matter anyway. No other screensaver is running, especially the xsreensaver package is not installed as it fiddled around with the DPMS settings without asking and so defeated it's main purpose: saving the screen and my electricity bill... As I did not do any fancy stuff with my configuration apart from regular updates from unstable I think that this bug got introduced by some package... It worked like a charm for years but the last couple of month the screen just stays on. I actually switched from one bluetooth mouse to another around the time the disfunction occured but DPMS stays on "on" with "/etc/init.d/bluetooth stop"ed as well as it does kick in with low timeout values and the mouse running... I also tried variants with just switching the mouse off (no spurious input), with no success. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17 Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xserver-xorg-video-ati depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-10 X.Org X server -- core server xserver-xorg-video-ati recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
