Bug#849208: Acknowledgement (Nvidia driver does not use DPMS)

[Richard B. Kreckel]

It turns out that installing nvidia-xconfig and creating an xorg.conf
file with Option "DPMS" "true" in the "Monitor" section makes the screen
turn off as desired.

The nvidia-xconfig package description says that "This tool is
deprecated. The NVIDIA drivers now automatically integrate with the Xorg
Xserver configuration. Creating an xorg.conf is no longer needed for
normal setups." This leaves the questions: What exactly is that "Xorg
Xserver configuration"?

In any case: DPMS should be part of any "normal setup".
