That's sort of a side effect of bug #1437510, if u-s-c was doing the "dim before blank" rather than having different settings to tweak we wouldn't have this issue.
The settings code is http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~system-settings-touch/ubuntu-system-settings/trunk/view/head:/plugins/battery/SleepValues.qml#L56 what value do you have for the gsettings key "com.ubuntu.touch.system dim-timeout" if you select one minute? If that's correctly 50 then the issue is not a settings one... ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-system-compositor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1494514 Title: When the screen timeout is set to one minute, the screen doesn't dim before going off Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in Unity System Compositor: New Status in ubuntu-system-settings package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unity-system-compositor package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: When set to two mins or more, the screen dims for 10 secs then goes off.
