This point which I mentioned in passing seems to have gotten lost among
the more interesting issues of color management, so I'll repeat it under
a separate heading. I ran dispcal (from argyll 1.0.3) to calibrate my
display, and subsequently my display won't turn off after inactivity.
(It's good that it doesn't turn off during calibration, but I'd like it
to restore the normal behavior once its done.) I haven't found a way
to restore the normal behavior.
I'm not sure why that would be when run normally, since it
does attempt to restore the DPMS state on exit. I do
notice a problem though, if you kill it prematurely, which
is caused by the connection to the X server being severed
before the DPMS restore is flushed through. I will
fix this by making sure the an XSync happens before
the signal handler exits.
You can probably re-enable it by tweaking your system
power management settings.
