I'm not seeing this problem with XFree86 4.4. I have two NVIDIA GeForce4 MX cards runninng the "nv" driver that comes with XFree86. I have it setup for two separate screens (not Xinerama). If I dpms force off to either screen it shuts off on both. It seems to me that you are either seeing a server bug that has been fixed in 4.4 or it's a very common driver bug that the "nv" driver just doesn't happen to have. My guess is that this is a 4.3 bug. Mark. On Thu, 27 Aug 2004, Greg Stark wrote: > I have multiple displays on this X server.
