Hello,
Using F9, with KDE 4.0.4 desktop, my LCD display never seems to enter
power-saving mode. I have a screensaver configured to kick in after 5
mins, and that works fine. The Xorg log file shows that DPMS is enabled,
as does 'xset -q'. Running 'xset dpms force off' (or standy/suspend) and
the screen turns off, so it can do it. I have left the system for nearly
an hour, but the monitor is still on. This occurred under the vesa
driver, but I have today installed the latest Nvidia drivers and the
problem still exists. F8, using the same hardware, had no such problem.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Generate some traffic here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351661
and let's see if we can't get some action on the vesa driver. If you
can, update the version to 9, otherwise, include the fact that it is F9
in your comment.
Team Fedora won't help with the nVidia driver issue. For that, check
out the nVidia fora.
Thanks,
John.
