Dell U2410, works DPMS for you?

Hello

I recently switched from monitor Dell Ultrasharp 2209WA to Dell Ultrasharp U2401 (Rev A05). Its relly great!, the only issue I have is that it does not enter in any of three DPMS modes. DPMS modes are detected OK

NOUVEAU(0): DPMS capabilities: StandBy Suspend Off

xset dpms force off

(or standby or suspend)

[drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Setting dpms mode 3 on tmds encoder (output 1)

I guess should be a monitor firmware issue (its has lots of inputs, who knows...)

Is anyone with this issue? Looking on internet there is a similar issue [#1] (in this case looks like monitor acts as not cable connected, in my case this does not happens, if I try to go menu, says "there is no signal comming from your computer") I will ask to Dell support.

Thanks.

For anyone interested this is an issue with nouveau driver in my case, using nvidia works fine. Anyway I am back with nouveau, its fit better for my usage.
