Public bug reported: After an upgrade from gutsy to hardy alpha5 my monitor would not resume after it had been put in power saving mode. This is only the monitor, the rest of the system worked fine (as confirmed using ssh). This was solved by manually running the command: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and then restarting the xserver. Now the monitor will resume when using the keyboard or mouse.
Looks like the xorg.conf file has undergone many changes as it is much smaller now. I don't think the ordinary user should have to open xorg.conf files and run commands to manually reconfigure this stuff.
