There's no sensible way to have both systems, xscreensaver and xset, control these settings, because there's no way to know which one was used last. Updates are not timestamped. So one has to be in control and override the other or chaos ensues. -- Jamie Zawinski https://www.jwz.org/ https://www.dnalounge.com/ -- 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.
