I have Vista pre-RC1 build 5536. This is the first build I've tried on this
computer. I dual-boot into XP, works fine. I have a problem with that the
screen never goes into energy-save mode. After the set time out (20 minutes)
the screen goes black, but the monitor is still on, I can see that the
backlight is on, and the LED shows that it's on.
I have an AGP ATI Radeon 9550 graphics card. I've tried both with Microsoft
graphics drivers, and ATI, some issue.

Thanks for any suggestions,
/Hakan

Hello

Same Issue here with a AGP Radeon 9700 Pro.
But the secondary monitor (twin view) goes well in energy-save mode, this
issue affect only my primary monitor.

If the screen goes blank and all you can see is the backlight then it
appears that the computer is no longer sending video to the monitor.
Have you successfully had the same monitor go into standby when not
receiving a signal on another system? If you unplug the monitor from the
computer and turn it on what does it do? If it does the same thing and does
not go into standby in a resonalble amoung of time then the problem is with
the monitor.

Same with a 9600pro. Works fine in XP, worked with beta2 but now won't
standby with pre-rc1.

this problem can be caused by the ATI driver, we all have ATI card I see.

My monitor go well in energy save mode under XP, and with the Beta2 there
was no probleme itoo.

I just noticed something, I changed to VGA analog instead of DVI (and I
actually also added a kvm switch, not sure if that matters) and now the
screen turns off. Are you guys using DVI?

I dual-boot into XP on this machine, and the display turns off in XP, so I
know it's something with Vista.

Same issue for me.

Dell 9100 with Radeon x600 graphics

Monitor powered down just fine in previous version of Vista but not after
up[grading to Pre-RC1

I did notice that the Upgrade did not load my monitor driver - it picked a
standard driver. After manually loading the correct driver ( Dell 2005) I
saw no change - problem still there.

I hope they fix this one soon!

a workaround may be a shareware Turn Off Monitor at http://ww.rtsoftwares.com
