Screen dimming pre monitor power off - only occurs on one monitor, but all suspend

[Alex davies]

Hi,

**Ubuntu 10.10 beta**

I set my monitors to go "black" after 5 minutes.

When this happens, the screen gradually dims to black and then power off.

I have 3 monitors, using 3 separate X screens.

What happens is the middle one dimms and then all three go to black. This looks silly.

Also, while it always is the middle screen that dims initially (leaving the one on the left and right showing desktop, before suddenly going black after the fade), sometimes the "unlock" box (prompt for password when moving mouse) appears on the far left screen, which did not used to happen in Alpha 2.

Does this still happen in the final release of 10.10 or 11.04?

I'm afraid I moved back to using Windows on this machine as X was to slow under 10.10 beta and 10.10 final and 11.04 won't work with my Dell SSD RAID setup so I can't confirm the status of X on them. I suggest closing this bug.
