Just checking after reading the commit message, the working mouse pointer does not contradict that this is a DPMS problem, right?
Right, DPMS just triggers the gnome-shell hang, but the X server is still running fine, so the mouse pointer moves normally.
Thank you for the explanation!
I built the package with the patch attached and keep my ears open for problem reports from the users.
As this looks like a severe bug, should a point release (7.4.1) be made?
