Thanks Alan. To my knowledge, Ubuntu actually has _never_ had a UI to control this--screen blanking has always been disabled before. The UI only allows the user to configure the time period for powering off the display. Now it seems that screen blanking is mysteriously enabled on some machines in 12.10.
Other than with xorg.conf or xset, how might the distro be disabling this? I wasn't able to find any override anywhere. I am guessing that the override is not working in some corner case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072531 Title: [regression] X11 screen blanking after 10 minutes with no UI to change it To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/1072531/+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
