dpms don't conflict, because they are synced between xfpm and light- locker-settings. > Since no service handles the blank times with the switch away from XScreensaver to light-locker, we decided that light-locker-settings should take care of it until xfce4-power-manager was ready. Here lies the problem: Since xfpm does not handle screen blank, one can easily break the power source dependent monitor pm of xfpm. Consider following situation: User sets up ac timings in xfpm to 10/15 and battery timings to 7/10. While on battery he decides to reduce this timings and uses light-locker-settings to set them to 3/4. Back on ac he wonders why his screen goes black after 3 min. He checks light-locker-settings and xfpm and both say 10/15. xset q shows, that xfpm did switch the timings after the power source has changed, but since it does not handle screen blanking it is still set to 3. I guess the question here is, do we want (incomplete) screen blank gui support for crt monitor users (afaik on lcd monitors screen blank, dpms standby/suspend/off are all the same), or a consistent monitor pm with xfpm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393767 Title: [trusty] light-locker-settings may prevent xfpm to apply power source dependent monitor power management To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/light-locker-settings/+bug/1393767/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
