Maybe stupid question, but does this still happen if you disable the autostart of xscreensaver or even remove the package? So could the problem be that if xscreensaver settings are set to "disable screen saver" it doesn't touch anything, and some default DPMS value (from X11) will be active? And users expect that xscreensaver will set DPMS to never blank if "screen saver" is disabled? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
