Since this bug reappeared on my system, this may help; running gnome-power-manager --verbose shows this line during the initialization:
TI:00:36:19 TH:0xd42df0 FI:gpm-brightness-xrandr.c FN:gpm_brightness_xrandr_setup_display,170 - No outputs have backlight property Maybe the g-p-m just doesn't detect that the screen is lcd with backlight, and because of that it doesn't turn the backlight off? Also I've noticed that after the initial display blanking by g-p-m, it will try to turn the monitor completely off every 10 minutes, which is the time out set in my g-p-m settings, and then after a split second the backlight turns on again. -- [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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
