Bug Description

I'm on a fresh installation of Debian, linux image 5.10, with a radeon RX580 gpu.

My computer is not honoring the setting to "never" turn the monitor off, in power settings.

DPMS is still killing the monitor after 10 minutes. It appears bugged. I have to manually turn DPMS with a cron job every 5 minutes to make sure it "stays off".

I don't want DPMS. I want my monitor to always stay on ALWAYS FOREVER AND EVER NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS. Why is DPMS fighting me???

How do I completely disable and REMOVE this bugged program "dpms" from my system, safely???

One part of this issue seems to be, MAYBE, that VLC is enabling DPMS somehow. It should not be allowed to do that.

If normal user programs are allowed to access dpms then it is a security issue. Requesting the security team be brought in to help on this.
