Package: xserver-xorg-core Version: 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12lenny2 DPMS works as expected at first, but after disabling and then re-enabling it, the display will not turn off again. You can trigger this with an app like MPlayer that disables DPMS on startup and re-enables it at exit, or simply with xset.
Steps to reproduce: 1) Run "xset dpms 5 5 5". Display turns off after 5 seconds without input, as expected 2) Run "xset -dpms". Display now stays on, as expected. 3) Run "xset +dpms". Display continues to stay on, even after 5 seconds without input. To confirm, the relevant xset q output after running xset +dpms is: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 5 Suspend: 5 Off: 5 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On The only way to get DPMS working again is to re-run the "xset dpms 5 5 5" command, or to re-start your xserver. I am using the nvidia drivers from stable. According to this bug report for Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/78783 this bug is also present when using the nv drivers. -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
