See also the following: Bug 134765 This problem appears to have been showing up since 2006! I can confirm this with krfb from KDE 4.5.5 on FreeBSD and multiple VNC clients including krdc, Chicken of the Sea, and Apple's Desktop Sharing. Also, this seems to be a duplicate of 134765, 147091, and 283773 which are all related to the screen saver reactivating too soon. Further fighting with this issue has caused me to discover that it is connected with Xorg's Display Power Management Signalling(dpms). Setting dpms off mitigates the issue. If I issue the following command within a terminal within the VNC session, the screen blanking issue is eliminated until dpms is turned back on: xset dpms force off Permanently disabling dpms and thus the ability for the monitor to sleep is not reasonable. Therefore, I have to turn dpms back on with the following command when I leave the VNC session: xset dpms force on *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 134765 *** |
