What says "xset -q" about your DPMS settings?

DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 900 Suspend: 1200 Off: 1500
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On

Hmm. Does a "xset dpms force off" turn your monitor off?

Nope. It puts it in the same sate. The screen is blanked and the
white X logo is displayed (sometimes). I have to invoke that command
(and then cancel by moving the mouse or touching the keyboard)
several times to see the X logo.


So, no further hints on this hiccup?

It annoys me 'cause I forget to manually power off the monitor
sometimes. Worst of all is when I retire for the evening and forget.
Then the fluorescents are on all night long, eating into their useful
life. That really bugs me...
