Installed xubuntu 8.10 on my laptop over the weekend and it has the same issue. Mouse movement alone doesn't keep the screen saver from activating and once activated the screen saver won't turn off with mouse movement either. Once the monitor shuts itself off then mouse movement will bring it back.
xubuntu 8.10 fully patched - 2.6.27-11-generic nvidia vid card using repo drivers version 177; compositing is enabled in xorg.conf, but not xubuntu single laptop monitor -- screensaver won't release with mouse movement https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/273142 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
