Default Monitor spontaneously wakes

Hi folks,

I have my Power Management settings set to power down my monitor after 1
minute of inactivity. This works just fine. But after a while, the monitor
powers up, is on for a minute, and then powers down again. There may be some
significance to the time schedule or interval of this activity, but I haven't
discovered that yet. My question: Is it possible to log the event or input
that wakes the monitor, whether it's a rogue input device spontaneously
sending a signal or some application doing something I'm unaware of?

Hi

Check that you have the latest driver for your video card from the
manufacturer's web site.
