Public bug reported:
With the screensaver disabled, Power Management Preferences set to
Never, DPMS turned off in the bios and using gconf-editor to set
ac_sleep_display to 0 and dim_on_idle to false, the screen still blanks
after half an hour or so. This has occurred on every machine I've tried
(various ibm and compaq models).
The only way I've found to make a monitor actually stay on while in an x
session is to do all the above, as well as add ' Option "DPMS" "Off" '
to my xorg.conf. This took several hours of trying one approach,
waiting to see if the screen blanked after an hour, changing something
else, etc...
The bug here isn't that it's impossible to do, but rather that the gui
(the preferences particularly) makes it look like I've set it correctly,
when I simply haven't.
