Everything worked fine for me until an upgrade about a week ago.  I'm
using Gnome Shell on Oneiric.  Now the screen will go black, leaving the
panel visible, but the monitor no longer powers off.

Title:
  monitors wont go to sleep

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  since recent updates to intrepid my monitors will not go to sleep any
  more. this has started occurring in the last week. not sure which
  package update has caused it though.

  I am using nvidia drivers with twinview setup, I have tried both the
  current versions of the 173 and 177 branches of the nvidia drivers and
  still get this problem. unfortunately I cannot try the 'nv' driver as
  I can get this to work with DVI connections to my monitors for some
  reason.

  I have also noticed that gnome-screensaver does not appear to be
  working, it fades to a blank screen and then after about 0.5 secs
  returns to the desktop. not sure if this related to the power
  management issues though.

  #lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
  Release:	8.10
