Yes AND No.

With latest Oneiric updates as of right now (2011/10/12 16:07 UTC) :

- "xset q" shows DPMS active with all timeouts set to zero (where they previously were set to 600 before updates).

- Watching a movie (with the screen "fade to black" set to 30 minutes in control panel) :

1/ Previously the screen went off (suddenly) after 10 minutes - due to the DPMS timeout - This behaviour is now gone.

2/ But now the screen fades out to black after 30 minutes - as set per control panel.

=> With previous Ubuntu versions, watching a movie with Totem video player prevented/inhibited the screensaver to kick in and the screen to go black. It's not the case anymore so the regression is still there
