--- Begin Message ---Package: x11-xserver-utils Version: 7.3+5 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/xset My xorg.conf is set up to have dpms enabled on one screen (:0.1 -- I'm using zaphod mode, so :0.0 is a separate screen to :0.1), but disable on another screen (:0.0, a status screen that must always remain on). This works, as is expected. However, if I say: DISPLAY=:0.1 xset dpms 1200 2400 3600 Then it affects :0.0 as well (even though xorg.conf says that screen has DPMS disabled!). It should only affect the asked for display. Perhaps it should affect all displays if I was trying to talk to :0 rather than :0.0. Those not using zaphod mode, but using xinerama mode instead, obviously would have only the one DISPLAY, and thus xset should affect them all. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages x11-xserver-utils depends on: ii cpp 4:4.3.2-2 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.7-18lenny4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-3 X11 authorisation library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.4-2 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.4-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxmu6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxmuu1 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous micro-utility li ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.3-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxtrap6 2:1.0.0-5 X11 event trapping extension libra ii libxxf86misc1 1:1.0.1-3 X11 XFree86 miscellaneous extensio ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii x11-common 1:7.3+20 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc x11-xserver-utils recommends no packages. x11-xserver-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

Similarly, DPMSEnabled is a global boolean flag. I don't think there's a bug here. Cheers, Juliensignature.asc
