Bonjour,

I am carrying on the list of irritating that we cannot easily configure
and that we used to be able to do previously.

I have an nvidia video card and, in my xorg.conf dpms is enabled:

Section "Monitor"
<snip>
    Option          "dpms"
EndSection

The result in Xorg.0.log:

(**) Option "dpms"
(**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled

But dpms is not working at all when you are on the login screen and it
is working when you are logged in, *only* if you enable it using the
gnome utility for screen savers etc.

We are facing a lot problems like this and we have to make a per user
config for things which should be relevant to global config.

Is gnome making a "coup d'état" on unix like system?

Regards.
