I've had something similar, where DPMS would work initially, and switch |
| 6 |
the screen off after the configured timeout, then switch on again for no |
| 7 |
apparent reason after a few minutes and stay on. |

What I could find out is that xorg connects to the ACPI daemon and |
| 10 |
interprets LID events. In my case (Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop) there are |
| 11 |
spurious LID events, e.g. sometimes three "closes" in a row. This made |
| 12 |
xorg switch the screen on, but then not switch it off again. |

Anyway, the solution for me was to add: |

|
| 16 |
Option "NoPM" |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
to the "ServerFlags" section. |
