(Get the code!)
Adding data: there is something, probably lingering after the upgrade, that resets the `xdpm` data of the X server. After a while the screen starts to go off after very little inactivity, *without* enabling the screensaver (I blindy wrote my password in a couple of mails ;-)...).
If I set:
xset dpms 600 600 600
it seems to work, is confirmed by `xset q`, but after a while (much less than 10 minutes) the screen goes off and when touching a key and checking, `xset` says:
$ xset q
[...]
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On
The only workaround I found is to completely disable dpms with `xset -dpms`; with tha the screensaver kicks-in correctly but then the display will never shut off...
