I'm not sure if it's just a lack of a suitable utility or actually a design flaw (xset only works per display, but dpms powersaving is a hardware property and should be switchable per screen).
Same applies to other extensions such as "FBPM" (framebuffer power management), too...
Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
keith, does randr 1.2 handle this? if so, should it not?
RandR doesn't have per-CRTC DPMS yet, but it could be added fairly easily now that we have handles to the hardware resources. Of course, an application can easily turn a CRTC off, but that's not exactly what we want. Let's figure out how to extend RandR to do this and a few other fun things.
