Greets everybody;
My monitor has not turned itself off unless I did it by hand. Looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log with grep dpms, I get:
[gene@coyote log]$ grep DPMS Xorg.0.log
(II) Loading extension DPMS
(II) RADEON(0): DPMS capabilities: Off
(II) RADEON(0): DPMS capabilities: Off
(**) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled
(II) RADEON(0): DPMS capabilities: Off
(II) RADEON(0): DPMS capabilities: Off
There is also an error message:
[gene@coyote log]$ grep EE Xorg.0.log
Current Operating System: Linux coyote.coyote.den 2.6.35.1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 9 10:12:28 EDT 2010 i686
(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/dri/r600_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
which preceeds the last "DPMS capabilities: off" above, so I have to assume they could be related.
I see our version of mesa doesn't contain a mesa-dri package, and that it apparently takes a newer mesa-7.7 to arrive at having this library.
What are the chances that at least a DPMS workaround exists?
Or are we stuck till the new mesa is built for pclinuxos?
Or do I build it myself, I did do that once but it was years ago.
I also have an nvidia card, new in box, a PNY 9400GT, what are the chances of its working better?
Thanks, Gene
