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

** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

Title:
  Screen goes black while watching video

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While watching a video in Ubuntu Gnome/Unity GUI with the video player
  (Totem), screen goes black after a while, where the use of a video
  player was inhibiting the screensaver to kick in in previous Ubuntu
  versions.

  Furthermore, in Control panel, the setting for screen to go black
  cannot be set to "never", maximum is "one hour", which doesn't give
  the user the choice to use this feature or not.

  Furthermore, Even when set to "One hour", my screen ingores the
  setting and goes black about every 10 minutes whatsoever.

  What a pain in the ... to have the screen go black every 10 minutes
  while watching a movie !
