CentOS - Sep 2005 - Missing libs on install

I've run across a couple of things I'm not quite sure why, but just 
discovered the libtermcap.* was not installed from the CD's.  I would 
have thought the termcap libs would be part of the base install, and in 
fact, when I retrieved them with yum, it does show "base" or
"core".  Is
this just some errant behavior one time or is something broken in the 
install?  I've also found a couple more that did not get installed, but 
don't recall now what they were, but being part of base, I'd again, 
think they should be.

OS is 4.1 x86-64

My previous question did not provide any answers about dpms, so I ask 
again..  I have dpms enabled, but the monitor will never suspend or turn 
off.  xset q shows dpms enabled.  I've tried with and without a 
screensaver and still the same thing.  The monitor is a Samsung 192N 
(supported).

Any ideas?

No idea.

This just means it's in the base repository - the base repository contains 
all the rpms from the 4.1 CD/DVD (while the updates repository are the 
security and bug fixes, and other repositories like centosplus contain 
addons and extras etc).  The fact that it's base has nothing to do with 
installtime base (everything from installtime is within the base 
repository).

My guess is either the monitor or the video card is broken/buggy (possibly 
also the X drivers for the graphics card...) - maybe a badly connected 
(or broken) monitor cable as well.

Does "xset dpms force off" turn off the screen?
