I see the same thing running a KDE3.3 desktop and Xorg. It only happens a few times, though, soon after I first enter X. If anyone knows how to enable any kind of logging for DPMS requests to see if it's an X app causing it, or to log the DPMS timers to see if it's an X server bug, I'll try them. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \'[ FreeBSD ]''''''''''\ <> green@FreeBSD.org \ The Power to Serve! \ Opinions expressed are my own. \,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\
