So, to sum up Kevin's post above (comment 42), the fix for this bug is for Ubuntu to apply the following two patches to their version of X:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/patch/?id=db568f9eabf3450d8a023597ff007df355b13ea8 http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/patch/?id=6b5978dcf1f7ac3ecc2f22df06f7000f360e2066 This will stop X from resetting IDLECOUNTER when DPMS off is sent, which turns the screen back on right after it shuts off. -- gnome-screensaver not functioning https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
