dpms is broken (again)

[schmolch]

Im running Ubuntu Hardy on 2 Laptops.
A Thinkpad X60T with a Intel GMA945 GPU and a Thinkpad T42 with a radeon mobility GPU.

On the X60T dpms used to work but not anymore.
On the T42 it never worked.

The screens never turn off, regardless of what i set the times to in gnome-power-manager.

Using Suspend-to-ram breaks dpms as well but im not even using suspend.

I have a similar problem. After boot it works, screen is shut-off after configured time-out. But after a few hours it stops working. Screen is not shut-off after time-out. Manually using "> xset dpms force standby/suspend/off" always works.
Currently using Ubuntu 8.04, but I have had this problem on previous versions as well. What should I provide to get someone working on this?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please attach the resulting log file of: gnome-power-bugreport.sh &> gpm.log to the report? You might also want to take a look to the Debugging instructions located at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGNOMEPowerManager for submit any other logs related to your problem.Thanks in advance.

Meanwhile im running 2 X60Ts (coreduo, intel gpu) with Hardy and the T42 (centrino, radeon gpu) with Intrepid.

DPMS works reliably on all off them now, even after Suspend.

This Bug is resolved for me.
What about you, Jan?

See you later when it breaks again some time in the future ;-)

[Jan Kronborg (magic75)]

Yes, it seems to be resolved with Intrepid.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

great, thanks for the feedback, marking this as fixed then.
