Hi, Antonin
    From the description it seems that this is a regression. 
    Will you please use the git-bisect to identify the first bad commit which causes the regression?
    Thanks.

Comment 3 Antonin Kolisek 2009-02-12 08:44:53 UTC

Hello,
  sorry, but at this time I don't have the opportunity to test older working kernel with git-bisect.I don't have source and .config 2.6.27.X kernel version.

Thanks.

We seem to have a DPMS-related regression here and I don't even know 
which subsystem might have caused the breakage.  (iow: who do I blame? ;))

Thanks.

Bug #12653 could be a dup, but affects 2.6.26 as well.

Comment 6 ykzhao 2009-03-18 20:02:47 UTC

Hi, Antonin
    The DPMS is controlled by graphics driver. And it is not touched by ACPI/PM.
    Maybe you should open a new bug at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ and attach the corresponding info.
    Thanks.

Comment 7 ykzhao 2009-07-20 14:49:24 UTC

As the LVDS DPMS is not controlled by OS, instead it is controlled by graphics driver. 
IMO this is a graphics driver bug rather than a power management bug.
So this bug will be rejected.
Thanks.

Comment 8 ykzhao 2009-07-20 14:51:04 UTC

It will be better that the bug reporter file the bug at http://bugs.freedesktop.org.
And this bug will be rejected.
