Description of problem: Using a Lenovo X201 laptop with Dell 24" LCD connected via displayport, the external monitor will not turn off automatically no matter what I set for the "Turn off after" value in the gnome screen settings. "xset dpms force off" works perfectly, so this is not a hardware/X configuration issue. This was also broken for me in F14 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F15 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. laptop lid closed, using external monitor, set turn off time down, wait 2. 3. Actual results: Desktop fades out, leaving black screen with date at the top, user at the top right, monitor never turns off. Expected results: Monitor turns off after specified time. Additional info: Monitor turns off with KDE desktop.
I have the same problem with a desktop pc with dual crt monitors, gdm turns off the monitors after some time and a custom session (a single program session) does too.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
