With XFree-4, the DPMS feature seems to not work properly.
For example when typing "xset dpms force off" my former notebook
(compaq armada) turned the display off, but the thinkpad just
blanks. The X configuration is the same (since both notebooks
feature an ATI RAGE graphics card), and Option "DPMS" is
configured.
Hello Frank,For example when typing "xset dpms force off" my former notebook

I bought recently a R51 and I have the same problem as you.
Unfortunatelay I didn't find a solution, but I haven't searched
intensely for a solution. But I think it is a X11 problem since I can
turn the display off if I switch to the console.
