Description:

I deactivated display sleep under System->Prefs->Power Managment and deactivated the screensaver under Sys->Prefs->Screensaver. Still, after about 15-20minutes of watching a movie without touching the mouse or keyboard, the screen just blanks, my monitor says 'NO SIGNAL' and shuts off.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
gnome-screensaver 2.26.1-1
gnome-power-manager 2.26.3-1

xset -q:
DPMS (Energy Star):
Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On

This bug was already resolved on ubuntu:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Desactivate screensaver
2. Don't use the computer during 20-30 munites
3. Screen turns off
This task depends upon

Is this still an issue with 2.28.x?
