I have an idea for a workaround: in crontab add a new line "0 * * * * DISPLAY=:0.0 xset +dpms". You can see that when you have this problem, xset q shows that dpms is disabled, and after running xset +dpms, xset q shows that dpms is enabled. Hopefully some people may find this workaround handy.

I have the same problem. After boot it works, screen is shut-off after configured time-out. But after a few hours it stops. Manually using "> xset dpms force standby/suspend/off" always works. Currently using Ubuntu 8.04, but I have had this problem on previous versions as well. Terrible that no

I guess that this is a duplicate of Bug #59589. Gnome-Power-Manager is connected to the screen saver idle time. DPMS works fine for me with my Intel hardware but it is correct that the xset dpms values gets reset after a short period. This wouldn't be any problem if the Gnome power manager has m
