Description:

I'm trying to stop the screen from going to sleep. If I set the slider for sleep & turn off monitor to zero, or any other value up to 60 min, the screen still blanks after 15 or so minutes.
Also, if I disable Monitor Power Management Control, it still goes to sleep after about 15 minutes.

I'm successfully using Caffeine for a temporary workaround.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

xfce4-power-manager 1.0.10-2


Steps to reproduce:

Watch a movie.

Apparently, DPMS works fine. The problem was I had the screensaver enabled in X (?!), but no screensaver installed, so the screen would just blank.
Fixed with:

$xset s off
