This already started to happen when I had 11.10 and I thought 12.04 will fix it but it's still the same. The problem is that if my laptop is idle for around 4 minutes my screen turns off even though my screensaver and power management are disabled. How can I fix that?

Ive had problems with DPMS switching on and off by itself. Next time it happens, use xset-q to see if DPMS is enabled. If it is, do
Code:xset -dpms

thanks
solved my problem. I have HDMI output and had to move the mouse every 10 mins.Originally posted by whatthefunk View Post
I made bash script calling the two command:
xset -dpms
xset s noblank
and so the screen does not go black anymore.Comment
