[Bug 34233] Re: g-p-m failing to use DPMS to power off display

[pgf]

can someone comment on the state of this thread, particularly with
respect to ubuntu dapper?  i can't seem to get dpms to kick in, no
matter what i do with gnome-screensaver or gnome-power-manager.  what
makes this thread interesting to me is that the configuration involves a
laptop sitting closed on a desk, connected to an external
keyboard/monitor.  is there really an issue with the lid state that i
should know about?  someone have a pointer to an acpi bug, perhaps?
