Package: gnome-core
Severity: minor
Version: 1.4
Synopsis: Gnome 1.4 on Debian Potato seems to disable DPMS Monitor power management
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-core
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
Gnome seems to disable DPMS Monitor power management. I have the 'user power management' button clicked in the Gnome settings. When I explicitly set it repeatedly from the command-line with 'xset dpms force on', the monitor will be powered off for some time, then will come back on.

Just a thought: do you have xscreensaver installed? I gather it
turns this off and on too. Reassigning to control-center in case
it's Gnome and not xscreensaver in the meantime.

Adding this for Gary, who responded direct as he can't edit this bug
because it came via bug-buddy. And for the benefit of anyone else
who meets this :)

 This is not a bug, as it turns out, just a feature with
 difficult-to-find documentation :)

 Xscreensaver 3.32 comes with gnome 1.4 from Ximian. In the
 xscreensaver changelog for (I think) version 1.30, it explicitly
 states that xscreensaver takes over all DPMS control.

 I happened upon the easy way to fix my DPMS control by executing the
 Xscreensaver graphical control program:
 xscreensaver-command -prefs
