Hi, DPMS never worked on my notebook with ProSavageDDR. The problem is that the register that controls HSync and VSync signals of the CRT doesn't have any effect on the LCD display. The attached patch disables the LCD display via the bios if the DPMS mode is anything but "ON". Alex, if you think this is ok I'll commit it. It seems to work fine on my ProSavageDDR.
Regards, Felix P.S.: I just thought it might be a good idea to check for the UseBios option.
