RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Monitor shuts down after about 10 minutes.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. log into desktop
2. monitor shuts down in 10 minutes. (LED goes from green to amber, screen goes black with no apparent power)
3. no adjustment of power settings or screensaver settings stops this.

I have tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-screensaver.conf to add a 

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "BlankTime" "0"
    Option "StandbyTime" "0"
    Option "SuspendTime" "0"
    Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection


I have tried running:

setterm -blank 0 -powerdown 0

But nothing I have tried works.

Actual results:

monitor shuts down after 10 minutes


Expected results:

monitor stays on forever.

Additional info:

I am trying to figure this out because a customer with RHEL 7 "Workstation" says:

Alas, there is an issue. The screen flickers: sometimes it restores itself and at other times the display just goes blank. Restarting the monitor always seems to bring it back to life.
None of the applications that are running are affected. Is this a known issue of some sort?

How can I disable DPMS in RHEL 7 Workstation so the monitor stays on?

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
