I've removed the gnome-screensaver, and installed the xscreensaver. It works as it should with the xscreensaver. No dimming.
My version of Gnome is 2.26.1. The version of gnome-screensaver that was installed was 2.24.0-0ubuntu6. There was no update to the screensaver, which is why it was at that version. The version of xscreensaver, I have installed, is 5.07-0ubuntu3. -- [hardy] screensaver fails to start and screen fails to completely black out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229144 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
