Both gnome-power-manager and xscreensaver try to control the X server's DPMS settings?
It seems that gnome-power-manager DPMS support is incomplete when the user doesn't use gnome-screensaver (which isn't included with OpenSolaris). For this reason gnome-power-manager sometimes resets the DPMS standby / suspend / off timeouts to 0. $ xset q ... DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On This seems to happen when we resume an x86 system after it was suspended-to-ram using the power button: http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=7356 I think I've also seen this problem on a new gnome session, when xscreensaver and gnome-power-manager race during session startup and gnome-power-manager starts after xscreensaver, resetting the DPMS timeouts from xscreensaver to 0. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
