I have made some tests. I can't confirm this behavior with Gutsy. The value in DPMS is always zero for me but it still works since Gnome seems to handle it on its own.
xset q | grep -A 1 -i DPMS DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On Maybe your laptop-mode service or something else set the wrong dpms sleep time. Could you please recheck this issue with the Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 Live CD? ** Changed in: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- [Gutsy] Display sleep sets wrong DPMS off time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190537 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
