GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 53971
dpms doesn't work
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
i've tried the power management checkbox in screensaver section on both control-center 1.2.2 and 1.4.0.1 and they both don't work. tried both xscreensaver 3.28 and 3.32 and no luck. tried manually xset +dpms with my preferred standby, suspend and off values but gnome seems to run xset dpms 7200 7200 14400 and xset -dpms to disable dpms every so often. i had no such problem with redhat 7.0 before upgrading to 7.1.
Does xscreensaver-command-prefs work? See bug #53860 for details. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 53860 ***
