Hello there, has anyone experienced a seemingly weird behaviour with xscreensaver and the DPMS functions X provides? Well, I had configured xscreensaver to blank/lock the screen, then turn the backlight off (it's an LCD). It was working, but operates rather peculiarly lately:
It goes like this: I leave the computer on, then come back and find that the backlight is on, even though the screen is blank and locked. "xset q" shows that DPMS is enabled, and the timeouts are the ones I inserted in xscreensaver's preferences. I reduce the timeouts to check if works: it does. I even tried checking whether the timeouts in xorg.conf might be messing it up - I read something about a few screens being 'turned on' when xorg decides to shut the backlight out. It all works properly. Even after restarting GDM or, occasionally, X, it continues working. Then, all of a sudden - apparently not connected to reboot or shutdown - I come home to find the backlight on again... Goblins in the computer, or am I missing something?
