I have installed xscreensaver into Ubuntu 14.04. I had to replace gnome-screensaver{,-command} with xscreensaver to get it to work. But after that I find that DPMS is Disabled, and it annoys me.
Even without activating xserver, the xset power management is broken: I could enable DPMS with this command: xset +dpms I could also force DPMS in suspend mode, and my display would enter power saving mode: xset dpms force suspend But within one minute, the display powers up, and DPMS is Disabled again! So what is the proper way to control the GNOME power management? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/924278 Title: xscreensaver doesn't enable DPMS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/+bug/924278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
