Description Alberto Passalacqua 2005-10-16 20:17:49 UTC
The Screensaver tool in the GNOME panel doesn't allow to set the monitor standby
settings.
Comment 1 Mark Gordon 2005-10-17 14:42:52 UTC
As an admittedly ugly workaround, those settings are exposed in gconf, but they're not in the GUI.
Comment 2 Alberto Passalacqua 2005-10-17 18:25:02 UTC
It was there in SuSE 9.3. Why was it removed?
Comment 3 JP Rosevear 2005-10-17 19:05:52 UTC
Because we are moving to gnome-screensaver rather than xscreensaver.  If you install xscreensaver and remove gnome-screensaver it should work.

Shorter summary so the meaningful bits don't get cropped in queries.

I wrote the following in 137421.  Copying it to here so that it doesn't get lost and forgotten forever.

"I don't think 4 different settings are necessary, however.  (I have no idea
what dpms_off, _standby, and _suspend really mean, and I doubt many people do. 
I just set them all to the same value.)  A slider that says after how many
minutes the monitor is turned off (with 0 being never) should be fine."

Rodrigo, g-p-m now handles DPMS settings, right?
Comment 8 Rodrigo Moya 2006-01-25 11:45:51 UTC
Yes, closing
