> Ok well that shouldn't be. I don't know what's wrong. This is what the ticket is all the years talking about :)
Comment #14 implied just a bit that this behavior could be intended if the screensaver is disabled so I wrote comment #15 with the potential possibilities how this could be handled. Good to know that this is indeed just a bug. The question is now why it happens. It is now over 5 years since I reported this issue against XScreenSaver 5.15 (currently I'm on XScreenSaver 5.36) and was not able to utilize DPMS in all this time. Also currently 7 other users have enabled the flag that they are affected by this bug too as this ticket shows. -- 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.
