Hi all,
So I have used my Pi 5 for a while and noticed a problem. Semmingly display timeout no longer works, weirdly it was working before. After some digging it appears that something is changing my DPMS settings.
I'm running X (for compatibility with VNC server) and have two DE installed: the default LXDE and Gnome. And yes, I have screen blanking enabled in raspi-config.
If I login with gnome and run, I see standby/suspend/off timeouts all set to 0, effectively disabling monitor sleep. If I login with LXDE, they are all set to 54000. I can set it to some other duration with say and it will work, but upon logout and login they'll be back to the values stated before.
On my Pi Zero 2, after login (with LXDE) I can see the timeouts are 600 which is the default and the correct behavior.
I would like to set timeout to 15 minutes, so I have this in my xorg.conf:But clearly something is overriding this config on every startup and login, because monitor will stay on forever after boot. Can someone help me figure out what is messing up the timeouts?
Thanks in advance.
