What do you find grepping DPMS in Xorg.0.log? Are you explicitly turning DPMS off in xorg.conf or 50-monitor.conf? I have to think your upgrade to 11.3 came from an earlier release in which enabled DPMS was not the default but did still use xorg.conf by default, neither of which is the case in 11.3 I expect. I'm guessing Power Devil takes over DPMS duty, leaving the DPMS default in charge if Power Devil is disabled - unless you explicitly disable DPMS as well. Some people rather than try to figure out how to disable Power Devil just leave it in charge and change its settings to the maximum selectable times.
Generally, your media player should be able to "intercept" the monitor sleep/standby mode thing...
It always used to but not now , And i have just tried to log into a text console found it was in sleep mode and cant wake it up only usable in GUI mode not a good state of affairs.
As I never use any but open source drivers, I have nothing to suggest on that fork. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver."
