from bug #231397 (this may or may not help): Tony Houghton (h-realh: 0) wrote on 2008-10-14: (permalink) I've discovered that this behaviour is deliberate and gnome-power-manager (gpm) relies on gnome-screensaver (gss) to implement the blanking and DPMS instead of X. It behaves correctly when gnome-screensaver is running. It would have been nice to be able to use gpm without gss, because for most people there's no point in a screensaver that does anything except save power. However, gss does provide a way of suspending blanking for video players etc:- gnome-screensaver-command --poke - which is better than temporarily changing the X settings, so it's got its uses after all. Although I think it might be preferable for gpm to handle DPMS for gss instead of the other way round, I don't mind if this bug is closed without anything being changed. -- [karmic] display doesn't go to DPMS sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
