Public bug reported:
The key issue is that I cannot watch films, since my display turns off
every 10 minutes, with AC plugged in.
I tried to cast
$ xset -dpms
$ xset dpms 0 0 0
$ xset s off
In all cases screen becomes black in 10 minutes of inactivity, while vlc
is playing video.
$ LC_ALL=C vlc --version
VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower (revision 2.0.1-0-gf432547)
VLC version 2.0.1 Twoflower (2.0.1-0-gf432547)
Compiled by buildd on crested.buildd (Apr 3 2012 18:33:14)
Compiler: gcc version 4.6.3 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu3)
I'm not sure, if this bug is of xset or i915…
The following command works, switching off the screen:
$ xset dpms force off
I use LXDE without any screensaver process launched, if I haven't missed
any.
# LC_ALL=C apt-get remove xscreensaver
Package xscreensaver is not installed, so not removed
