Bug#396666: xserver-xorg: monitor comes out of power-save mode without user action
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-5
Severity: normal
The video card and monitor go into power save mode as configured. At
intervals varying from 40 seconds and up, the monitor comes out of power
save mode for about one second then resumes power save mode. This is
without user input. When the mouse is moved to resume normal
operation, the monitor displays "auto image adjust" for a few seconds
and works properly. The primary concern is the potential damage to
hardware.
