Description of problem: I'm not sure I've assigned this to the right component or not so please re-assign if appropriate. I'll attach my xorg log but I'm using some sort of ATI card connected to two monitors. I'm running KDE and xset -q reports: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 720 Suspend: 1800 Off: 3600 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On The problem is that half the time I come in to work and find the monitors are still on, showing what appears to be a frozen screensaver. If I login from a remote machine and run xset -q from there it reports: "Monitor is Off" which it clearly is not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.7.196-1.fc8 How reproducible: not, seems random Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start KDE Control Center 2. Open Peripherals 3. Click Display 4. Click Power Control tab 5. Turn on Enable display power management 6. Set Standby to 12 min, Suspend to 30, Power off to 60 7. Click Apply 8. Let computer set idle for a while Actual results: Sometimes the monitors will power off at the expected time. Sometimes they do not, instead showing what appears to be a frozen screensaver even though 'xset -q' reports that the monitors are off. Expected results: Monitors always turn off. Additional info:

does this happen with the latest F8 of F9 ati drivers still?
It is either not happening at all anymore or it has become much more infrequent. Either way I'm happy with its behavior now.
