We can't always get what we want. It's impossible to allow use of both xset and a GUI and know which setting should take priority, since setting changes don't have timestamps on them. For it to be possible to use xset to control DPMS settings, xscreensaver would have to not have a GUI for configuring that at all. One has to pick one and stick with it. Since you installed xscreensaver, that's the one that takes over. Just use the xscreensaver GUI to control things and everything will be fine. You appear to be assuming that if you pick some magic set of settings in the xscreensaver GUI, then after that you will be able to use xset to your heart's content. That's not how it works, because that's not possible. Not a bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
