Hello,
Using F9, with KDE 4.0.4 desktop, my LCD display never seems to enter power-saving mode. I have a screensaver configured to kick in after 5 mins, and that works fine. The Xorg log file shows that DPMS is enabled, as does 'xset -q'. Running 'xset dpms force off' (or standy/suspend) and the screen turns off, so it can do it. I have left the system for nearly an hour, but the monitor is still on. This occurred under the vesa driver, but I have today installed the latest Nvidia drivers and the problem still exists. F8, using the same hardware, had no such problem.
Any ideas, suggestions?
Generate some traffic here:

and let's see if we can't get some action on the vesa driver. If you can, update the version to 9, otherwise, include the fact that it is F9 in your comment.
Not sure that will help. Now that I have installed the nvidia stuff, if I run vesa again it reports as coming from nvidia, not from the Fedora supplied one. I suspect the Fedora people will not accept that.
John.
