Refering my last post above; Using xscreensaver (without using 'Display Power Management') works fine for me, so if you encounter issues with the xorg screensaver freezing, disabling the 'xset' screensaving features and installing/using xscreensaver instead might be a workaround for you as well:
Install package 'xscreensaver'. Add these two lines to "~/.xinitrc" (or whatever gnome/unity/xfce/kde startup script you have): xset -dpms & xset s off & Set this option in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf": Option "DPMS" "false" Configure xscreensaver with cmd 'xscreensaver-demo' and set it to use "Mode: Blank Screen Only" and do NOT enable any "Display Power Management". If you sometimes want to manually start the screen saver, use cmd "xscreensaver-command -activate'. /Mikael -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958279 Title: FGLRX DPMS support totally broken, fails to wake up the monitor after putting it to sleep.
