I guess it won't hurt implementing this because of the warning. No power benefits on the host of course. The client machine could possibly be prevented by our client from activating a screensaver, but even if it is so it is independent of the driver. If you know it does please file a bug about it, that would be a power efficiency fix. Alon re: power benefits I was thinking that e.g. X11 clients on the guest would (IIRC) recieve a VisibilityNotify event when DPMS is activated and could stop unnecesary work. And I remember reading that some hardware graphics drivers throttle their clocks when attached displays are in DPMS state - I don't know if there are opportunities for qxl or the spice display or llvmpipe to conserve resources when DPMS is active? Plus I would have found working DPMS in a VM useful in my ongoing effort to chase down a string of kde powerdevil bugs. See also bug 679868. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
