I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy and I have an (old) nvidia-card (which is working great with xgl, thanks!). I installed the proprietary nvidia driver. My screen gets blank when not using the desktop for a while, even though the gnome-screensaver and gnome-powermanagement is turned off. I think it only occurs with the nvidia driver (not the opernsource nv driver). I found a workaround for this bug on some forum: I had to add a couple of lines in xorg.conf. These are:
Section "ServerFlags"
#other options can go here
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
I consider it as a bug , because it's ennoying when watching a movie for example and this is not what people want without having to change some configuration files by hand.
maybe this has something to do with it?:
I installed the package xserver-xgl to get compiz working, because compiz doesn't start then with if the video card has only 32Mb of memory (found this solution on a forum)
my nvidia card is reported by lspci as:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev a1) |
I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy and I have an (old) nvidia-card (which is working great with xgl, thanks!). I installed the proprietary nvidia driver. My screen gets blank (monitor doesn't shut down) when not using the keyboard and mouse for a while, even though the gnome-screensaver and gnome-powermanagement is turned off. If I move the mouse the screen turns on again. I think it only occurs with the nvidia driver (not with the opernsource nv driver).
