Comment 22 for bug 749811

I've found a less than satisfactory, but acceptable solution until this bug is fixed. When I log in, the first thing I do is issue the command "xset -dpms" to turn off the energy star features (standby, suspend, off). This means I can now have my screensaver active and close the lid on my laptop, but the screen never turns off.

Not the best solution for the monitor, but if this bug is fixed soon, then it is acceptable for now. Has there been any headway on the root of the problem?
