[Bug 836945] Re: Screen always goes blank after 10 minutes

 

Barry, btw I noticed a couple other things you might look at...

Your xorg.conf only specifies "glx", but that's loaded by default now.
You should be able to entirely delete your xorg.conf with no impact to
X.  (In fact we ship without xorg.conf and recommend you run without
one, unless you actually need it for some reason.)

Second, in your dmesg file there's some aufs crashes; I think those may
be unrelated to this bug, but look worth further investigation.

Title:
  Screen always goes blank after 10 minutes

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Even though my screen saver settings say to "Turn off after: 1 hour",
  my screens always go blank after 10 minutes of inactivity.  This is
  entirely reproducible.  I am using the free glx driver with my Radeon
  HD 4670 card, dual-headed.
