Bug#243081: xserver-xfree86: dpms blanking behaves erracticaly
Hi,
I switched monitors and the behavior changed a little.
Instead of oscilating between off and on states it now
displays about 5 seconds of strange lines, I believe
the sync rates to be pretty wild. Then the new monitor
will turn off. I also tried switching cards after
changing monitors, both cards had the same behavior.
The current card is a brand new nVidia Geforce 3d card
using the nVidia drivers. Finaly, the same behavior
was observed under freebsd previously on this
computer, with the Rage video card and the original
monitor.
Thanks,
Tyler Riddle
