Issues found w.r.t Power Manager

[Zenwalker]

Hi Yes,

I did ran xset -q command before and after using xflock command. Before it
will be enabled. But after using xflock, the dpms gets disabled. So i have
to run xset dpms again to enable it. Is there any way to set this when
screen is unlocked?

Thanks
