dpms + fglrx

hi -

i am having a problem with one of my computers and the monitor... it use 
to power off and now it no longer does...

suspend seems to work but the screen is still on, just blank.. i am 
using powerdevil and also tried kde display and gnome display settings 
as well... i know that the ati hd2600 supports powerplay as this worked 
in fedora 8 and is also noted on ati website... powering off the display 
works with an nvidia card but not the ati...

i've googled a bunch but can't seem to find an answer... help would be 
greatly appreciated...

$ aticonfig --lsp
Error: POWERplay is not supported on your hardware.

$ aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get activity"
Current Activity is Core Clock: 600MHZ
Memory Clock: 684MHZ
VDDC: 1100
Activity: 0 percent
Performance Level: 0
Bus Speed: 2500

Maximum Bus Lanes: 16

$ aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get clock"
Engine Clock Range: 600-600 MHZ; Memory Clock Range: 684-684 MHZ;
[/snip]

also the option is set in the monitor section of the xorg.conf to use 
dpms...


cheers
