any values specified for any of the following DPMS timeouts in the ServerFlags section of the xorg.conf appear to be ignored : e.g. my Section "ServerFlags" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" Option "OffTime" "5" EndSection but immediately after starting Xorg, xset q shows DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600 whereas they should be DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 300 background - dix/main.c main issues certain init commands in the following order InitOutput(&screenInfo, argc, argv); /* indirectly calls configServerFlags to parse various server flags in conf file */ InitExtensions(argc, argv); /* indirectly calls xserver/Xext/dpms.c DPMSExtensionInit to initialise the DPMS extension */ cause - some fairly recent change in DPMS has included dpms unconditionally initializing the three timeout values which overwrites the dpms settings from the config Suggested fix - change the DPMS initialization to be conditional on not set from config
