Advisories MDKA-2007:049: Updated x11-server-xgl packages fix DPMS bug


Recommended Posts

The DPMS X server extension is responsible for managing the pwoer for

the display. It turns the display off (or puts it in standby mode)

after a programmed time of inactivity, however some applications can

disable DPMS' timers while running (such as a video player).

 

When using Xgl, the timers of the underlying servers were not properly

set, so if an application attempted to disable DPMS, it would still

be active. This update fixes the problem by forcing Xgl to always

configure the timers in the underlying server.
