Howdy all. I recently did the emerge --update world business, and with |
| 2 |
that came xorg 7.1 (was 7.0 before). So everything seemed to be fine |
| 3 |
and dandy, but I've noticed that the DPMS for the monitor doesn't seem |
| 4 |
to work quite right. I'm seeing this behavior on two machines (one a |
| 5 |
desktop and one a laptop, so different types of hardware, etc.), so I'm |
| 6 |
thinking it has something to do with some change to xorg itself, or |
| 7 |
maybe a config file? The symptoms are slightly different on each |
| 8 |
machine. On my laptop (intel i810 driver), the screen just never shuts |
| 9 |
off anymore at all. It's just happy to stay on seemingly forever, |
| 10 |
unless I shut it. The desktop however (nvidia legacy w/ CRT monitor) |
| 11 |
sometimes works (meaning turns off correctly), sometimes flickers on and |
| 12 |
off repeatedly until I move the mouse to wake it up, and sometimes just |
| 13 |
never turns off. I hate seemingly non-reproducible problems! I do have |
| 14 |
Option "DPMS" in the Section "Monitor" in my xorg.conf as well as this |
| 15 |
section at the end: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Section "ServerFlags" |
| 18 |
Option "StandbyTime" "20" |
| 19 |
Option "SuspendTime" "40" |
| 20 |
Option "OffTime" "60" |
| 21 |
EndSection |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The Xorg log doesn't have any EE's in it, but does have the following |
| 24 |
warning: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
And, of course, that file does not exist. I have no idea if that's |
| 29 |
significant for my problem or not. revdep-rebuild says everything is |
| 30 |
peachy. Any clues? Anybody seen this before? Thanks! |
