Hello,

for the text consoles I have setup blank_saver but for X DPMS.
The X DPMS values are as follows:

DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 4444    Suspend: 0    Off: 0
  DPMS is Enabled

Sometimes when I return to the station after X has switched to
standby mode I can wake X and start a new session.
But when I switch to a text console it is like in standby mode and
can't be woken up again even though I have only blank_saver running.
Thereafter I can switch back to the X session on console 9 but the
screen stays in suspend mode. I can also switch to text console 2,
login and start X on console 10. But still the screen stays in
suspend mode. Then I can issue a reboot. After the system starts up
the screen reverts to normal display mode.

On the console 9 there is gdm running. Sometimes I have a secondary
X session on console 10 launched by startx.
The X sessions will be terminated by xautolock.
The console sessions have autologout activated.

Has anybody an idea why the text consoles can lock in standby mode?
