Hi,
The g-p-m FAQ [0] mentions this;
My monitor is broken and treats DPMS standby and off states as
'no-signal' which leaves the monitor powered on.
You have to change the dpms suspend mode gnome-power-manager uses.
Open gconf-editor, and then change the keys
/apps/gnome-power-manager/ac_dpms_sleep_method
and /apps/gnome-power-manager/battery_dpms_sleep_method to
one of the modes that work, e.g. standby, suspend or off.
There's also a related bug, 428122, where the reporter mentions that the
screen seems to blank first, and only later is suspended.
If none of the above is of any help, please gather all relevant pieces
of data [1] and I'll forward this bug upstream.
