Hmm, this might be the problem then - Xsun listens to /dev/ms0 and 
/dev/kbd0 IIRC, whatever method it uses to determine the time since 
last activity in any of those might not work properly with wscons on 
top ( like the old screensaver binary which relies on modification 
times of the device nodes, that's been broken for a while now )
When you have a 4.0 userland then XFree86 -configure should produce a 
usable configuration file.

Besides that, the cgsix uses sync-on-green so by definition it can't 
use DPMS signalling (which abuses the hsync and vsync lines to tell the 
monitor which sleep mode to use). Turning off video output should still 
put the monitor to sleep though.

have fun
Michael
