Bug#243081: xserver-xfree86: dpms blanking behaves erracticaly
Yes they do, in fact both monitors work flawlessly
(with identical hardware) under Windows 2000. There
seems to be something up with XFree86 4, as when the
last time I used unix on these monitors was duing the
3.x days and there were also no problems there.
Thanks for your assistance,
Tyler Riddle
