This patch adds support for dpms for dvi connections with ati radeon. I have been successfully using this patch for many months. Please add this patch to the xfree ebuild.

Created attachment 15959 [details, diff] Current patch with the same purpose Hi Arthur, We apply a patch that's quite similar to yours now. Do things work currently without using your patch, just ours?
I tested xfree-4.3.0-r3 and dpms for dvi with ati radeon appears to work just fine without the patch I suggested. Thanks! :) P.S. I am fairly sure at the time I submited this bug, this was not the case.
Closing since we already have a working patch.
