Title:
  [regression] X11 screen blanking after 10 minutes with no UI to change
  it

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After updating from Ubuntu 12.04 Precise to Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal, X11
  has started automatically blanking the screen after 10 minutes of
  inactivity even though I have set "Turn off screen when inactive" in
  "Brightness and Lock" to 1 hour.

  If I change "Turn off screen when inactive" to 1 minute, then the
  screen turns off after 1 minute as it should, but if I set it back to
  1 hour then the screen goes back to blanking after 10 minutes, not
  turning off after 1 hour as it should. So it seems that there are two
  independent timers and the GUI has no effect on the 10 minute one.

  Looking in xset, there is indeed a 10-minute screen blanking timeout.

  Note that I am using a dual head configuration so I have an xorg0.conf
  and an xorg1.conf, but there is nothing in either related to screen
  blanking. Both heads experience the same problem. My other machine
  that I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 does not.

  Running "xset s 0 0" avoids the problem.
