Yeah, I upgraded to Jaunty 9.04, and it still remains.
I have a feeling it has something to do with the fact that I installed xscreensaver a while back. I have since removed xscreensaver, but the problem remains.
The work-around I am currently using is I created two small bash scripts:
#!/bin/sh
# dpms-off.sh
vbetool dpms off
&
#!/bin/sh
###
# dpms-on.sh
vbetool dpms on
And then I setup desktop shortcuts for each script and then keyboard shortcuts for each script:
Ctrl+Alt+0
Ctrl+Alt+1
Respectively. And now when I want to manually put my monitors in sleep I use "Ctrl+Alt+0" and to wake them up when I return I use "Ctrl+Alt+1"
