Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver
When the screensaver activates it takes something like 5-10 seconds for
the screen to fade to black. This has always happened for me on dapper,
on various different machines.
Nothing needs to be done, as far as I can tell, just that the
screensaver is enabled and set to switch on after a certain amount of
activity.
I'm using the nvidia-glx binary blob with my GeForce FX 5500 card. My relevant
xorg.conf sections:
[...]
Section "Module"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "type1"
Load "vbe"
EndSection
[...]
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500]"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
EndSection
[...]
Section "Screen"
[...]
DefaultDepth 24
[...]
xscreensaver behaves normally, and blanking/fading out the screen takes
just a second or two.
