I've now upgraded to XFree86-Server-4.2.1_5. dpms still does not
work for me:
% xset dpms force off ; xset q | tail -5
Standby: 300 Suspend: 600 Off: 660
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is Off
Font cache:
hi-mark (KB): 1024 low-mark (KB): 768 balance (%): 70
(and I'm looking at the monitor and it is on)
My video card is an ATI Rage 128:
none1@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x7106174b chip=0x54461002
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies'
device = 'Rage 128 Pro AGP 4x'
class = display
subclass = VGA
Do I need something special in my /etc/X11/XF86Config to make this
work? I never had problems on my old system (an alpha with a
3dlabs Permedia-2 based AGP card).
