Well, I guess it is a little more complicated than that, but I was helping troubleshoot KMS dpms hangs from intel bug reports with some people on IRC and felt it should probably be brought up here because removing it did in fact fix their problem. I noticed debian carries a patch in acpi-support that would probably be much more correct than completely removing the dcop screen locking from it entirely. I'm surprised this script gets used though, perhaps its related them being on jaunty.
