--- Comment #73 from Michel Dänzer michel@daenzer.net --- Looks like some client repeatedly calls XForceScreenSaver (probably to prevent the monitors from blanking), which results in the DPMS property getting re-set over and over. Nicholas, maybe the kernel could ignore such no-op property "updates"?
