Public bug reported: I think this is with xorg package (this was decided by the os bug reporting tool). The screen blanker activates after 10 mins of inactivity regardless of the power or screen settings. I recently upgraded from 12.04, and I noticed this change in behaviour straight away. I use my machine for a lot of video media, and I can't be getting up, going to the machine and moving the mouse just so that I can enjoy the video!
