Package: gnome-power-manager Version: 2.24.4-3 Severity: normal I have a slightly odd setup here -- I don't run GNOME, but I do run gnome-power-manager by hand, since it's the only utility (so far) that nicely handles the ACPI suspend and hibernate events. With a recent update to g-p-m, I've noticed that the display is no longer blanking after some minutes of inactivity. I've traced this to the DPMS settings in the X server (reported via xset) being reset to zero.
gnome-settings-daemon is running; gnome-screensaver is not (nor is it going to). xscreensaver is not running, either. To observe the problem: - Login to an X session that does not launch GNOME services or helpers by default (such as Windowmaker). - Run 'xset -q'. The default DPMS timeout settings should be reported (your local config may vary): DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 1200 Off: 1200 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On - Launch gnome-power-manager in the background. - Run 'xset -q' again. The DMPS timeout settings have been destroyed: DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On If you use xset to restore the DPMS timeouts, they will be erased again if you interact at all with g-p-m, including using the ACPI keys to suspend the system. Please investigate this matter.
