Second (and this is probably OT), I use the binary nVidia driver
and the keyboard and mouse sharing utility Synergy (http://
synergy2.sourceforge.net, a fantastic utility without which I would
be so much less productive). Since upgrading to CentOS 5, if the
nVidia card goes into powersave mode, it can not be woken up by
moving the cursor from the Synergy server to the Synergy client
display (in this case, the CentOS 5.1 systems); you have to hit a
key on the keyboard that's physically attached to the CentOS 5
system to wake it up. Is there a way to have the display wake up
when the cursor is moved into the client display? Or at least
disable this "deep sleep" mode on the nVidia cards? I have not
changed the hardware or the version of the nVidia driver when
upgrading from CentOS 4.6 to CentOS 5.1, and I did not have this
issue before the upgrade.
This may well be an upstream issue; I have recently begun to
encounter the same problem on a RHEL 5.1 workstation, using Synergy
and nVidia binary packages from rpmforge (synergy-1.3.1-2.el5.rf,
nvidia-x11-drv-1.0.9755-1.nodist.rf).
I first started seeing this issue last week, after a reboot;
unfortunately I'm not sure off the top of my head which packages I
had recently updated. Before last week the desired behavior (the
display waking from sleep upon mouse movement) was present.
