Package: xscreensaver Version: 5.15-2 Severity: wishlist XScreenSaver imposes its idea of DPMS settings every time it does something. However, I prefer to set DPMS externally (in particular, I set a much shorter timeout when away, according to pam-usb).
One might expect that setting the 'dpmsEnabled' resource to a false value would have the desired effect; however, that makes XScreenSaver turn DPMS off at every opportunity - not what I wanted It seems like the only way to stop XScreenSaver touching DPMS is to recompile with --without-dpms-ext I'd like to see a resource to prevent XScreenSaver using or touching DPMS at all, so I can manage it without being overruled. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.1-balti (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xscreensaver depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.2.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-26 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.2 ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-3.1 ii libfreetype6 2.4.8-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-2 ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.30.2-6 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.8-3 ii libice6 2:1.0.7-2 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 ii libsm6 2:1.2.0-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-4 ii libxext6 2:1.3.0-3 ii libxi6 2:1.4.5-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.1-3 ii libxml2 2.7.8.dfsg-7 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.0-3 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.9-4 ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.2-2 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.6-2 ii libxt6 1:1.1.1-2 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.1-2 ii xscreensaver-data 5.15-2 Versions of packages xscreensaver recommends: ii libjpeg-progs 8d-1 ii miscfiles [wordlist] 1.4.2.dfsg.1-9 ii perl [perl5] 5.14.2-7 ii wbritish [wordlist] 7.1-1 ii wbritish-large [wordlist] 7.1-1 Versions of packages xscreensaver suggests: ii elinks [www-browser] 0.12~pre5-7 ii fortune-mod [fortune] 1:1.99.1-4 ii gdm3 | kdm-gdmcompat <none> ii iceweasel [www-browser] 9.0.1-1 ii lynx-cur [www-browser] 2.8.8dev.9-3 ii qcam | streamer <none> ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-5 ii xdaliclock 2.35+debian-1 ii xfishtank 2.2-25.2 ii xscreensaver-gl 5.15-2 -- Configuration Files: /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver changed: auth [success=done new_authtok_reqd=ok default=die] pam_usb.so @include common-auth -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
