Description Henri Ala-Peijari 2005-11-25 06:16:46 UTC 
I have entered the xset s off and xset -dpms commands on the root terminal on X,
but the screen still goes blank after a while of inactivity

Ok, so it seems that there's a component on the desktop environment that
controls the screen saver as well and that has to be set also to allow the
screen to stay on. I'm not sure if this is a bug, but ofcourse it would be nice
if the "xset s off" + "xset -dpms" would do the job without additional work
elsewhere.

not a blocker, in fact sounds like a bug in your desktop's screensaver
component. xset just controls what the server does automatically, but if it's
told to enter a dpms state explicitly by a program it'll still do it.

marking as notourbug, please reopen if the blame really does lie with xorg.
