Public bug reported: Hi,
I got a Lenovo T61 with nVidia Quadro NVS 140M and after installing gutsy from CD the screensaver/power-manager/xset was able to switch my display off after 6 Minutes. I'm using the xorg vesa driver because nv is not working. Now some aptitude upgrades later DPMS is not working anymore, xset dpms force off just "blanks" the screen, but vbetool dpms off still works and switches the screen off. Is there a possibility to tell gnome to use vbetool?? Anyway it would be great to switch the backlight with the gnome-screensaver again. It's because it worked already in gutsy and is gone now....? ii xorg 1:7.2-5ubuntu13 ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8 ii xserver-xorg-video-vesa 1:1.3.0-1ubuntu5 ii gnome-power-manager 2.20.0-0ubuntu6 ii gnome-screensaver 2.20.0-0ubuntu4.2 in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: (**) Option "BlankTime" "5" (**) Option "StandbyTime" "0" (**) Option "SuspendTime" "0" (**) Option "OffTime" "6" (II) Loading extension DPMS (**) Option "dpms" "true" (**) VESA(0): DPMS enabled Thanks for your help. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- dpms can't blank display anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/183672 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
