Yes, this happens for me too (gutsy ubuntu and xubuntu). The xorg.conf changes didn't work as they were posted in this bug, though; I had to use
Section "ServerFlags" Option "BlankTime" "0" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" Option "OffTime" "0" EndSection i.e. the same, but without spaces. Things that didn't work: Disabling DPMS in xorg.conf Removing g-s and/or g-p-m Replacing g-s with xscreensaver Seems to be an xorg bug, where for some reason it overrides all user settings. ** Summary changed: - monitor goes to standby when playing a movie in totem fullscreen + xorg suspends monitor regargless of gnome-power-manager timeouts ** Summary changed: - xorg suspends monitor regargless of gnome-power-manager timeouts + xorg suspends monitor regardless of gnome-power-manager timeouts -- xorg suspends monitor regardless of gnome-power-manager timeouts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/30969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-screensaver in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
