I do see the same issue for gnome-power-manager-2.26.0-1.fc11.x86_64. Moreover, suspend is not triggered either after the scheduled delay has elapsed indicating that g-p-m fails to have any effect on the system. Relevant components include: - gnome-power-manager-2.26.0-1.fc11.x86_64 - gnome-screensaver-2.26.0-1.fc11.x86_64 - gnome-session-2.26.0-1.fc11.x86_64
Updating g-p-m to SVN (executable reports version 2.27.1 (?)) allows to restore proper handling of DPMS. This issue should be an F11 blocker and needs to be addressed urgently.

Can we get a new RPM of this in rawhide that addresses this issue? The latest rpm in koji is from 3/16.. I think this bug has been around long enough and I agree that this should be an F11 blocker.
I've fixed this in master, I'll look at backporting this after the weekend.

Upgraded to gnome-power-manager-2.26.1-1.fc11.x86_64 from koji and it appears that the screen does go to sleep now. But rather than the 16 minutes (1 min after the screen saver) it seems to put the screen to sleep after 1 minute of idle time.. are there other requirements that I need, if so the rpm should have demanded them.

DPMS off has to be more aggressive that the session going idle. If you inhibit the session however, DPMS won't go off. Can you please try the packages here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=98858 and then we can look at getting the bump into f11-final if there are no problems. Thanks. Richard.
Yes, I am using that package from koji and what I am saying is that switching the display off is now TO aggressive. I set the display to be turned off after 16 minutes.. and I moved away from my machine and after about 1.5-2mins the dpms power save kicked in. I want it to not kick in until 16 minutes of session idle time has passed I set this by going into gnome-power-managers preferences and setting the display option to 16 mins. I switch back and forth between two machines all day and having it turn power down the displays after < 2 mins it too often
Richard, I think I found the problem. When select 15 mins for the screen saver and gnome-power-manager sets the minimum time to 16 mins until dpms kicks in. the value stored in gconf under apps/gnome-power-manager/timout/sleep_display_ac is 60 it should be 960 (16*60). So it seems that when storing this value you are not storing the base offset (15*60) + (slider value [1 in this case]), you are just storing the slider value * 60.
Thats intentional, according to the code: /* We take away the g-s idle time as the slider represents * global time but we only do our timeout from when gnome-session * declares the session idle */ value -= prefs->priv->idle_delay; /* policy is in seconds, slider is in minutes */ value *= 60;
But I am really getting lost in the maze of idles and timeouts and resets inside the g-p-m code. Richard, how is this supposed to work ?
I forgot to backport the gnome-power-preferences part for 2.26.1 -- could you please try out the package here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1316711 and tell me if it fixes the problem. Thanks.
Richard, I testing that code and everything seems to work as expected with screen power off now.
Richard, are you asking for tags ?
Will do now.

This bug has reappeared with the April 30 rawhide. The first time dpms works fine.. then you let the machine go idle and the display never turns off again. On April 30, gnome-screensaver was updated, but I'm not sure if that is the problem.
This still seems to be a problem in F11 w/ GNOME. Using gnome-power-manager-2.26.4-1.fc11.x86_64
I am still seeing this issue in Fedora 12 gnome-power-manager 2.28.2-2.fc12.i686 I do not have the screensaver enabled and ONLY have the power display off after 10 minutes enabled and it NEVER turns off.. if I manually set via xset it goes off. And many others are having this issue with gnome on other distributions.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/203513
