Or is it xorg 6.8.2, which came about the same time ?

I have no more power suspend or power off for the monitor, though everything is set through kcontrol.

Can anyone tell me where to look at ?

Thanks in advance

I have the same problem, however I have a script that runs on acpid and it doesn't work... So I think its something to do with acpi in the kernel.

What kernel do you use?

I have: 2.6.13-rc2-mm1

Try adding Option "DPMS" in your xorg.conf file. This worked for me:

Code:
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier   "Monitor0"
   VendorName   "AOC"
   ModelName    "7F"
   HorizSync    30.0 - 72.0
   VertRefresh  50.0 - 160.0
   Option       "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier   "Monitor1"
   VendorName   "Daewoo"
   ModelName   "431X"
   HorizSync   30.0 - 60.0
   Vertrefresh   50.0 - 60.0
   Option       "DPMS"
EndSection

Thanks. But I already have DPMS in xorg.conf...

err ... I don't have a xorg.conf file !

I have my old X86config, which is properly used (because it loads the nvidia drivers).

in this file, I have already the option DPMS set ...

Any idea ?

The fact that you are using xfree and nvidia and I'm using xorg and ATI supports my idea that acpi is having problems...

Don't know why though.

Sorry I was confused. I thought you said you were using xfree86. What you said (and I missed) was that Xorg uses your xf86config file...

So the only thing eliminted is video cards... I still think its a kernel bug.

I don't think it is a kernel bug : I did not change my kernel with the change of KDE versions ...
And the feature works with KDE 3.3.2.

Also, it "may" be working now. I just modified and re-set the values of the power saving times, and it "seems" to work now.

Where did you reset the values? Is that in the Control Center?
