I'm using the proprietary fglrx drivers on an FC6 host with ATI x1300.
I don't seem to have any control over whether or not the driver puts my displays into standby mode.
In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, in the "Monitor" section, I've tried all of the following:
Option "DPMS"
Option "DPMS" "false"
Option "DPMS" "true"
The driver seems to recognize this option. In /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I see:
(**) fglrx(0): Option "DPMS" "true"
(II) fglrx(0): DPMS capabilities: StandBy Suspend Off; RGB/Color Display
(II) fglrx(0): DPMS capabilities: StandBy Suspend Off; RGB/Color Display
(**) fglrx(0): DPMS enabled
However, whether I give the option false, true or no arguments, doesn't seem to affect whether or not the card puts the monitors into standby mode.
Further, entries like the following seem to have no effect on the timeout:
Option "StandbyTime" "60"
Finally, I'm running KDE, and control panel is unable to override standby, suspend or power off timeouts, because, according to the tool "Your display does not support power saving."
I'm using the proprietary ATI driver, version 8.33.6, x86_64.
Host is a Dell Optiplex 745.
O/S is FC6 w/ xen kernel v. 2.6.19-1.2895.
Displays are dual Dell 2007FP lcd's. Saw the same behavior with LCD's from another vendor, so don't believe it is specific to the displays.
thanks.
