Hi folks, Dumb question I know, but it's driving me nuts. I'm using an HP LP2475w monitor and a Radeon HD4850 graphics card with squeeze/unstable. Annoyingly, I see that the monitor is put to sleep in under 5 mins if I don't use the keyboard or mouse. This is due to loss of video signal from the computer (HDMI).
Currently with a GNOME desktop, the screensaver/powersaving configuration is set to turn off the display after 30 mins. On the console, setterm shows no powerdown timeout, so it's not AFAICT some odd KMS X/console interaction. So both these settings are useless! This is definitely the computer, not the display; disabling all power management on the display makes it display a "no signal" message when the computer stops sending a signal. Any ideas on what I'm missing here? There must be some other setting I'm overlooking, only I haven't come across it in 14 years of using Debian! Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
