DPMS stopped to work with SuSE 10.1

[Stefan Müller]

Hi,

I have a problem with DPMS.

If I type

xset dpms force standby

or

xset dpms force suspend

the machine switches off the display, but it is switched on again after
five seconds. For some reason the machine is keept awake.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 running SuSE 10.1.

Any hints on what goes wrong are appreciated.

	Stefan

PS Searching for DPMS does not give usable results, since all X
configureation conatin this keyword.

	St.
