Found cause crash Compaq Presario

  xset s noblank s noexpose -dpms

It's the "-dpms" that causes the crash. I tried "dpms force off", also crash. A bit of online searching, found this:

"eccerr0r" has posted a patch for libpciaccess, which has not been applied upstream. Hmmm, looks like I will have to compile it.
