[solved] Screen can't turn off with KMS

With KMS my screen never turns off (screensaving does not work) and surely, running the command xset dpms force off has no effect at all.

Any ideas? Anything...

[lars@laptop ~]$ xset q

Likewise.

This happened when I updated from 2.29 to 2.29.1 of this AUR kernel, the latter being KMS-enabled.

I also updated my xorg.conf to "AccelMethod" "UXA" (using an intel driver).

Re: [solved] Screen can't turn off with KMS

Running KMS, DRI2 and UXA on my 2 laptops (eee 1000 with 945 and dell latitude d830 with 965) I cannot force dpms off using xset. I just tried on my desktop (965) with the same settings and it works... how weird...

FWIW, it works here.
- Linux blackout 2.6.30-rc3 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 24 12:39:57 ICT 2009 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
- (II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 965GM
- xf86-video-intel 2.7.0-1
- (II) intel(0): direct rendering: DRI2 Enabled
- (**) intel(0): Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
- fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device

[edit] forgot to add (no idea if it's important or not) but kernel is patched so I could re-enable tiling [/edit]
