I commented out the "dpms" option in my monitor section (see below). No change in behavior. Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Monitor Vendor" ModelName "Monitor Model" HorizSync 31.5-90 VertRefresh 59-75 # Option "dpms" EndSection Use xdpyinfo to confirm DPMS is disabled at runtime. Other applications like GNOME control panel, xscreensaver, xset can enable DPMS regardless of the config file settings. Also attach your config file and X server log file as individual attachments using the link below. Requested information has not been attached. Therefore no troubleshooting is possible. I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX. If you wish to have this issue addressed, then please attach the requested information, and reopen the bug report. |
Description of Problem: This is not a Suspend issue (that works fine). This is a simple screen blanking issue. When I'm on battery power if the screen blanks and I move the mouse or touch a key to bring it back, I get an orgy of colors and static on the screen. The machine itself is not hung up. A CTL-ALT-F1 doesn't change the screen all that much, still messed up. I can "blindly" login though and do an 'init 6' to reboot. Other aspects of the video on battery power work fine including suspend/resume. I bought this laptop 4 weeks ago (right after Limbo2 came out). I've seen this behavior the whole time. RHL 7.3 won't install (IDE problems). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.2.0-71 kernel-2.4.18-14 How Reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot to runlevel 5 2. Wait until the screen blanks 3. Move the mouse, observe the chaos.
