This is the "nv" driver you are using? The "nv" driver offloads
all power mangement issues to the core vgaHWDPMS code in XFree86.
If properly configured (I don't know what the correct XF86Config
syntax is now-a-days) it should offer all that the core code
can, which is probably just On and Off. I don't think there's
a basic VGA way to do Standby or Suspend.
It should work fine in NVIDIA's binary drivers though. I'll
put real power management for the "nv" driver (Standby, Suspend)
on my todo list.
Mark.
