[TriLUG] Monitor Auto Power Weirdness

[Owen Berry]

Do you have anything being logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log when this
happens? What are your DPMS settings in your xorg.conf? What video card
are you using? I would assume it's either hardware or configuration
specific as this doesn't happen to me on my Gentoo box.
