[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#541488: fglrx-driver: DPMS power off not working on AMD 790GX chipset

[Gary Dale]

Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:9-2-2
Severity: normal

Since installing the fglrx driver from the Debian/Squeeze repository, 
dpms power off has stopped working. I can do an "xset dpms force off", 
for example, and the screen will go blank but the monitor never goes 
into a power-saving mode.

I was going to try the sid version but it breaks too many other packages 
on my system.
