How do I determine the state of my Monitor in Ubuntu 11.04. I've seen a lot of stuff regarding dpms, but for what ever reason, I don't have the dpms module running on my ubuntu install and I'd really rather not go messing with my xorg.conf file if I can help it.

Can you get us the output of cat /proc/acpi/button/power/PWRB/info and cat /proc/acpi/button/power/PWRF/info? – jrg♦ Aug 10 '11 at 14:18
