I see exactly same problem, as stated above. I have green saver lkm loaded and
if I return on the morning there are no way to get my monitor back from the
sleep. Anyway, I can login from another machine and unload this greensaver
lkm, after that my monitor wakes up. I'm not sure, but I think that there are
no such behavior under X, tomorrow I can give exact results. It's all very
irritating, because I love this green saver capability and I don't want to
leave my machine under X all the time. My machine sources are dated Sep.15
and all is still aout.
