Hi guys,
Sorry to bother because I'm actually using Arch, but since in the past
this list has given to me outstandings solutions, I git a try here.
I'm having a problem: in Xorg, with the vesa driver the DPMS works
just fine, but with the fbdev driver (framebuffer) the screen goes
blank but the monitor never enters in powersave mode.
And the only configuration that I modify is the video driver in use.
My main problem is that the vesa driver doens't work very well with my
video card, so that's why I use the fbdev driver.
Any ideas why this happend?
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Sebas
Since this is video related, are you in the video group? Several other
video issues have popped up recently that seem to require users in the
video group. It's easy enough to check. This should work.
cat /etc/group | grep video
If that doesn't help, I'm sure someone will come along with other
ideas.

Thanks. I'm in the video group.
Yeah, hope someone can help.
I would like it to work because comsuption of electricity is a variable
to control for me right now.
Thanks any way.
