I've had something similar, where DPMS would work initially, and switch the screen off after the configured timeout, then switch on again for no apparent reason after a few minutes and stay on. What I could find out is that xorg connects to the ACPI daemon and interprets LID events. In my case (Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop) there are spurious LID events, e.g. sometimes three "closes" in a row. This made xorg switch the screen on, but then not switch it off again. Anyway, the solution for me was to add: Option "NoPM" to the "ServerFlags" section. -- Remy Remove underscore and suffix in reply address for a timely response. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
