I believe this i independent of the driver. I have the same symptoms using the xserver-xorg-video-intel (2:2.20.9-0ubuntu2) driver.
Dconf settings I've played with (with no luck): * org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/lock-delay * org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/active * org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/sleep-display-ac xset dpms doesn't bite either. Other factors that may affect this issue: * gdm instead of lightdm * Gnome-shell instead of unity (unity is purged) * I use two monitors, one through dvi, the next through hdmi. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068309 Title: monitor issues Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: after upgrading to to ubuntu 12.10 my monitor keeps turning off. i have gone into the sytem settings to set it not to turn off but it keeps turning off. please help?
