XFree86-4.1.0 installed from individual ports, not mega-package.

>Description:

DPMS works in vtys (console text screens).

KDE 2.2.x DPMS does not work. So, I checked with 'xdpyinfo' that DPMS was
enabled. Then checked with 'xset q' to see that DPMS was set up.

DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 300    Suspend: 1200    Off: 3600
    DPMS is Enabled
      Monitor is On



>How-To-Repeat:

Try to force a DPMS state using, e.g., 'xset dpms force suspend'.

[alane ~]$ xset dpms force suspend
[alane ~]$ echo $?
0

Nothin' happens, though.

XF86Config available upon request. I didn't want to spam the list with it.


>Fix:

I don't even know how to diagnose this further. :(
