DPMS - XFree

[Peter Gruber]

Hi all,

I have a liitle trouble with the Xfree 3.3.6 XServer for the Silicon
Motion LynxE, maybe someone experienced similiar problems and has a
solution.

it works fine execept if I want to switch to the console, then my display
turns off and I have to switch back and forth some times to get at least a
garbled display ... then xvidtune + apply and the display is back.
I think it has something to do with the DPMS, because as long there is
just kdm running all this doesn't happen!? Does anybody know how to tell
Gnome not to turn on DPMS? If I want to turn it off (xset -dpms) the
display switches off and there is no way of turning it on again.

ciao  

noflushd woes

[Seth Golub]

Does anyone have noflushd working properly?  It always spins my disk
back up a few seconds after spinning it down.

noflushd writes to /var/log/daemon.log on spindown.  Could that be
the problem?  syslogd does buffer that log file (and most others).

Is there any way to find out which process is accessing the disk and
causing the spinup?
