gnome-power-manager: statusexplanation |
I guess that this is a duplicate of Bug #59589. Gnome-Power-Manager is connected to the screen saver idle time. DPMS works fine for me with my Intel hardware but it is correct that the xset dpms values gets reset after a short period. This wouldn't be any problem if the Gnome power manager has more flexibility.
You can test it through setting screen saver idle time to 1 minute and monitor sleep time of ac to 2 minute. With this configuration the Screen should go to sleep after this time. Btw. there are programs which prevent DPMS like especially video players. |
Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! |
