bug still relevant in 7.04 Feisty Fawn don't think this is a screensaver problem as much as a power-management problem. When I look at the Power History it shows that closing the lid initiates DPMS Off but when pressing the multimedia buttons the computer changes to DPMS On, turning on screen. only later when i open my laptop lid does it show that the laptop lid is opened. unlike the original post though, my screen eventually goes black as set to do, although not sure about timing.
basically, DPMS should not be set On when lid is down on laptop and multimedia buttons are pressed. different behavior may be desired on desktop such that the screen does come on when keys are pressed, but on a laptop as long as the lid is closed the screen should not be initiated until opened -- Pressing multimedia buttons on laptop with lid closed should not turn on screen https://launchpad.net/bugs/44686 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
