Sorry, Karsten, I've no solution. This is just a "me too" reply. I'm
using woody, but the xfree86 in woody is the same package as sid.
I'm hoping you have solved this perplexing problem since you posted, but
just in case you haven't, I just wanted to know a couple of things,
like:
Do you use the:
Option "DPMS"
in XF86Config-4? I've never got this to work, so I've always used:
xset dpms 0 0 2400
in my ~/.xsession file.
This has worked until the recent upgrade.
I'm just thankful the off button on my monitor still works :)
