[gpm] dpms problems

[Shai Ayal <shaiay users sourceforge net>]

Hi all,

I have some DPMS problems. I am not running a full gnome desktop, just
gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-power-manager with fluxbox

I can set the dpms parameters using xset:
xset dpms 300 600 1200

and the screen blanks after 5 minutes. However, after resuming from
suspend they are reset as shown by xset q:
DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 0    Suspend: 0    Off: 0
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On
and the screen never blanks

I must say that apart from this glitch I everything worked out of the
box - thanks for this great piece of software.
