Ok, ok - "gconf-editor" is your friend. DPMS is actually not checkmarked. But this is easily done here. The same holds for "stand-by", "suspend" and "off" delays. The content of "%gconf.xml" now reads: <?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="dpms_standby" mtime="1127929052" type="int" value="10"> </entry> <entry name="dpms_off" mtime="1127929046" type="int" value="20"> </entry> <entry name="dpms_enabled" mtime="1127929026" type="bool" value="true"> </entry> <entry name="dpms_suspend" mtime="1127929060" type="int" value="15"> </entry> </gconf> which makes a lot more sense to me. It would be nice, of course, to be able to change these settings directly in the preferences panel. Unfortunately, "gnome-screensaver" does not retain the settings chosen by means of "gconf-editor". The value of "dpms_suspend" in "%gconf.xml" is always reset to 60 after some time. Still, even after logging out and in again, "xset -q" reports the correct values. However, after rebooting the machine, "xset -q" now reports: "DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On". Very strange, because these value do not at all correspond to the values shown by "gconf-editor". As of "gnome-screensaver-0.0.16-1", "DPMS" is still disabled, albeit "gconf-editor" having "dpms_enabled" checkmarked. "xset -q" reports: "DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 1200 Suspend: 1800 Off: 2400 DPMS is Disabled" The values are correct, but "DPMS" itself is disabled. Still not functional in "gnome-screensaver-0.0.18-2". Still not functional in "gnome-screensaver-0.0.20-1". Btw, the menu icon has not been adapted to the Bluecurve theme either. "DPMS" is still not working in "gnome-screensaver-0.0.22-1" despite setting all relevant parameters through "gconf-editor" accordingly. After the removal of "xscreensaver" from "rawhide", no working screensaver for the "GNOME" desktop is left over. "DPMS" is still not working in "gnome-screensaver-0.0.22-3". "DPMS" is still not working in "gnome-screensaver-0.0.23-3". Moreover, when I set "suspend" to 10 min by means of "gconf-editor" it gets reset to 60 min automatically. It is possible to set "dpms_suspend" by means of "gnome-power-manager". Changes applied by means of the latter instead of "gconf-editor" are saved correctly and the display actually goes to power saving mode after a while. "gnome-power-manager" should be definitely be required by "gnome-screensaver" when installing it. There exists a corresponding upstream "GNOME" bug report at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324419 This can probably be closed since gnome-screensaver doesn't handle DPMS in 2.14. |
