Description of problem: My screen is set to blank after five minutes of activity. When this time passes, the screen does not blank, but instead simply sets the screen to black (the monitor backlight is still on and the mouse cursor is visiible). In Fedora 18, the monitor properly received the signal to go into power-saving mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.8.3-2.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Wait for inactivity 2. 3. Actual results: Screen fades to black, but the mouse cursor is still visible Expected results: The monitor should go into power-saving mode. Additional info: If I lock the screen manually, the GDM lock screen is displayed. When this occurs, the screen is blank except for the mouse cursor until I move the mouse, at which time the GDM lock screen becomes visible.

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
