This is not an X bug. These options merely set the *default* state of DPMS in the X server. It does not disable DPMS from being available. Other applications such as xset, xscreensaver, and whatever else wants to, has full access to the X API to enable DPMS or disable it, or set the timeouts at will. You need to make sure nothing else is enabling DPMS if you do not want DPMS. To test this and prove it is not an X bug, quit X out to the commandline then configure the DPMS settings how you would like them in the X config file. Now start up the X server in the raw by typing "X" alone on the commandline instead of "startx". This wil start *just* the X server by itself, and display a black screen with an "X" cursor in the middle, and sit there. Leave it sit there, and observe that DPMS does not kick in, or if you do configure a particular DPMS setting in the config, observe that it does work as advertised. You need to disable DPMS in the GUI environment you are using. Closing NOTABUG |
