I just need to figure out what to file a bug against: gnome-power-manager, x.org, or kernel.Yes when I do "xset dpms force off" The screen goes black which is what it should do if the screen saver worked.. To do "nomodeset" I will have to reboot is suppose but not sure how to apply that, "startx --nomodeset" perhaps or do I have to do it in grub? Yes, you say boot with it. Not sure where to put it in grub.
It's a kernel boot parameter, append it at the end of the "kernel" line in grub.conf
Another thing that I've noticed -- if you have a leftover /etc/X11/xorg.conf from the previous Fedora release, rename xorg.conf and restart, letting X start with a default configuration.
I haven't yet fully verified it, but even if I boot with the unmodified kernel boot line, after removing xorg.conf, it looks like power management also starts working.
