I installed FC6t2 from scratch, and was impressed to see that for the first time, my laptop's 1280x768 LCD was configured properly. I could not, however, power down the LCD backlight.
"xset dpms force off" gives an error starting with: server does not have extension for dpms option xset: unknown option force
I notice that Option "dpms" is normally found in the "Monitor" section of xorg.conf, however, this entire section is now missing. How do I enable DPMS, and should this not be the default? Do I bugzilla on system-config-display?
Thanks,

Was it created at installation with pyxf86config or after installation with system-config-display?
Either way, it is a regression and should be entered into bugzilla.

Both. And it's still the same with fc6test3 - bugzilla'ed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=206549
I'm guessing it's one of the modules that pyxf86config does not add - one of the following (compared to the xorg.conf generated by Xorg -configure):
dbe xtrap dri vnc extmod record glx
(Probably dbe, dri or glx?)
