[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 493645] [NEW] Xorg has default screen blanking value set to 600secs
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg Xorg appears to have (hardcoded) a default timeout for blanking the screen, set to 600 seconds (10 minutes) If the user tries to disable the screen blanking using gnome-power- manager (all timeouts disabled, no screen turn off) aswell as the screensaver being disabled, the screen will go blank after 10 minutes regardless of the setting. If you set the blank screen timeout to less than ten minutes, then this setting is used. The following is returned when running # xset -q - Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yesallow exposures: yes timeout: 600cycle: 600 - Again, timeout is set at 600 regardless what the user configures within gnome. Adding the following to the xorg.conf file solves this issue: - Section "ServerFlags" Option "BlankTime" "0" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" Option "OffTime" "0" EndSection - Upon restarting gdm (logout to restart X), the values retrieved by # xset -q are now correct - Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yesallow exposures: yes timeout: 0cycle: 600 - Now, the screen will not blank after a default of 10 minutes. This occurs on both amd64 based installs of Karmic 9.10 at my current location. I've also noticed quite a few threads on ubuntuforums which are also describing the same issue, but with no resolve. Can the timeout be set during the compilation of the xorg package? Or will it require constant modification of xorg.conf file to sort this issue? (not the best idea for novice users) ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Xorg has default screen blanking value set to 600secs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493645 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This is also affecting me with exactly the same issues. Regardless also if desktop effects are enabled or not. I have attached the various crash reports and logs, alas...

Exactly the same issue as me, running 11.04 (Natty) on an Aspire 3500.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 682287] Re: Black Screen at Start
Bit of playing... From what I can make out, DPMS isn't being set on, or is being ignored on some boots by the driver. If I ssh into the laptop (while screen is off) and issue: #sudo vbetool dpms on the screen then turns on. As a quick&dirty fix for this, I did the following: Edit the file /etc/gdm/Init/Default Scroll to the bottom of the file, and before the line "exit 0" and after the last "fi" entry, add: /usr/sbin/vbetool dpms on Save and exit, reboot. Seems to work fine now, I've done about a dozen or so reboots, each time the display comes on as it's supposed to do! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-sis in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682287 Title: Black Screen at Start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/682287/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
