Public bug reported: Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed
Description: Currently, the default screen saver in Dapper is 'random'. A computer running a screen saver is a terrible waste of energy. I suggest the default behaviour for an unused screen is to blank off. All modern screens support DPMS shut down, so it shouldn't be an issue to implement. -- Default screen saver setting should be to conserve energy https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/39687 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
