Description Tom 2006-07-08 02:29:17 UTC
Description of problem:
After upgrade to KDE 3.5.3, screen blanking cannot be disabled.  Blanking begins
in approx 20 Min's. (DPMS disabled in xorg.conf) (kcmdisplayrc present and
properly updated via Display Power Managment module).

Must be 3.5.3 related, roll back to 3.5.2 corrects issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5.3

How reproducible:
Always and Forever

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade KDE to 3.5.3
2. From Display Power Managment Module -> Enable Power Managment -> Drag All
Sliders to 0 -> Apply -> Disable Power Managment -> Apply -> Verify kcmdisplayrc
correctly written
3. Logout and restart KDE (for good measure), Lock session, wait 20 Min's
  
Actual results:
Screen Blanks

Expected results:
Screensaver Continues

Additional info:
Very strange, seems some people I have spoken with can get this working through
toggling Display Power settings, while others can't.

Somehow I missed this, needless to say, no longer applicable as I am running F8,
and the problem hasn't existed since FC5.
