Bug#237393: xserver-xfree86: Screen blanking seems to have stopped working

Severity: normal

If one lowers the screensaving to 10 seconds by executing something
like this:

        xset s 10 10

and then do

	xset s blank

and wait for 10 seconds, nothing will happen.

If one then executes something like this:

        xset s noblank

and wait again, the X screen saving bitmap will appear.

I have not been able to determine any connection with other xset
options, for instance this problem is not affected by dpms being on or
off.

The problem occurred only after upgrading to XFree86 4.3 and we see it
it both on my machine which has this graphiccard:

    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82865G Integrated Graphics
Device (rev 02)


Just for your info - starting with 4.3.0, the i810 driver supports the i865G as well.
See, if things work better with the i810 instead of vesa driver.
