I've recently upgraded to Xorg 7.4 and Gnome 2.26. I notice that when 
the monitor screen in blanked that the power lamp stays green always - 
never goes to orange (it used to with Xorg 7.3 + Gnome 2.24). Is this 
expected?

System is RELENG_7 from 2009-04-20 with Xorg 7.4 and Gnome 2.26 from ports.

Hardware is ASUS A8VX plus ATI 9600 PRO. I'm using the radeon driver 
with an xrg.conf generated by X -configure. Hopefully relevant sections are:


Section "Module"
    Load  "extmod"
    Load  "record"
    Load  "dbe"
    Load  "glx"

EndSection

EndSection

EndSection
