Yes, the patch fixes the issue with xrandr off and on.

However, another issue I reported in that bugzilla still remains:
namely, DPMS value returned via ioctl or obtained via sysfs is
inconsistent with the actually applied value.   The reason is that
there are two places keeping the current DPMS values, in connector and
in crtc device properties.  A similar fix like my patch in the
bugzilla would be still needed, I guess.


thanks,

Takashi
