xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-1.fc6 After upgrading to FC6, dpms does not appear to work on my laptop. The laptop's display never gets turned off, xscreensaver only turns the display screen to black, but the backlight remains on. I believe that I have xscreensaver configured correctly. ~/.xscreensaver reads: dpmsEnabled: True dpmsStandby: 0:05:00 dpmsSuspend: 0:06:00 dpmsOff: 0:07:00 This issue appears to be particular to this specific ATI chipset. A different machine with a different ATI chipset gets its display turned off correctly, in FC6.

Replacing xscreensaver with gnome-screensaver got dpms working, this is probably some interaction issue between xscreensaver and gnome.
