No xset dpms force off doesn't do any difference. But, it might very well be an Nvidia-issue, I've experienced freezes lately when the CPU load is high too. And I've had no such issues on my laptop, which has an ATI "card" and where I'm not using Compiz (at the moment).
Though I've installed the Nvidia drivers using Nvidia's installer, because I didn't feel like taking in Xorg from Sid just now... I just saw there is a new Nvidia driver out, I could try with that and see if it still has issues. //Marcus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
