I have now tested this with Ubuntu 14.04 dev and xscreensaver 5.15-3ubuntu1 but it is still not working. I'm also noticing that xset -q is always showing "DPMS is Disabled" no matter how often I'm dis- and enabling it in xscreensaver. But other values like the standby-, suspend- and off-time are successfully changed on xset -q if I'm changing them with xscreensaver.
It seems there is currently somewhere an issue that prevents xscreensaver from setting DPMS to enabled or maybe just disables it instantly. I'm on LXDE with LXDM as login manager if this should be related to this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xscreensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/924278 Title: xscreensaver doesn't enable DPMS Status in “xscreensaver” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 dev with xscreensaver 5.15-2ubuntu1. The configuration menu xscreensaver-demo provides under the register Advanced the option "Power Management Enable". But this option doesn't enable DPMS (xset -q says "DPMS is Disabled") so the screen can never go in the standby mode. The only way to get it work is to call xset +dpms.
