I have noticed that the settings for the screen don't seem to work in 4.2. I want the screen to turn off after about 20 minutes of non usage but when I set it to do that it doesn't work. No error or anything it just doesn't do it. I go to system settings, power management then screen and set it to turn off in 20 min but nothing happens in that time. It worked fine in 3.5.10. Is this also a bug in 4.2 or am I doing it wrong? Thanks.

Re: Laptop screen settings
I haven't tried this option but it would in any case be good to know which video driver you use. -

Re: Laptop screen settings
I also notice that no matter what I select under edit profiles then choose performance, that's the mode I'm running in, like do nothing when lid is closed, it still suspends and comes up to a blank screen.

Re: Laptop screen settings
I have the same issue. If I enable any screensaver, then monitor DPMS never works. If I remove the screensaver, then DPMS works as expected.
