I just did 'emerge unmerge xfree && emerge xorg-x11' last day. I didn't do anythin g else. The monitor has begun to randomly switch to power saving mode, let's say 3-4 times a day, even if I'm currently working with the PC. In fact, if I'm using the keyboard in that precise moment, I just notice a long blink in the monitor. It never did it with xfree and it was configured to stay always on. I've got a NVIDIA GeForce Ti4200 and I'm using NVIDIA drivers 1.0.6106-r1 and xorg-x11-6.7.0-r1. Now I've tried upgrading to 1.0.6111 to see if it still happens. $ emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r9 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r1, 2.6.7-gentoo-r9) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r9 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 2000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r4 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=athlon-xp -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=4 -mfpmath=sse" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=athlon-xp -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=4 -mfpmath=sse" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache digest distcc fixpackages sandbox userpriv" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X X509 aalib alsa apache2 apm avi berkdb bonobo cdr chroot crypt cscope cups curl dga directfb doc dv dvb dvd dvdr encode erandom esd extensions faad fbcon flac flash foomaticdb gd gdbm ggi gif gimpprint gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile ieee1394 imap imlib innodb ipv6 java jikes joystick jpeg kde kerberos krb4 lcms ldap libcaca libg++ libwww linguas_it live mad mcal md5sum memlimit mikmod mmx mng motif mozilla moznoirc mozp3p mozsvg mpeg mpi mysql ncurses nls nptl odbc offensive oggvorbis opengl oss pam parse-clocks pdflib perl pic png ppds prelude python qt quicktime readline samba scanner sdl skey slang slp sndfile snmp socks5 speex spell sqlite sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff truetype unicode usb v4l v4l2 vim-with-x wmf wxwindows x86 xchattext xml xml2 xmms xv xvid yaz zlib"
It still happens with NVIDIA drivers 1.0.6111 (both kernel and GLX).
