Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.3+5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/xset

My xorg.conf is set up to have dpms enabled on one screen (:0.1 -- I'm
using zaphod mode, so :0.0 is a separate screen to :0.1), but disable
on another screen (:0.0, a status screen that must always remain on).

This works, as is expected.  However, if I say:

DISPLAY=:0.1 xset dpms 1200 2400 3600

Then it affects :0.0 as well (even though xorg.conf says that screen
has DPMS disabled!).  It should only affect the asked for display.
Perhaps it should affect all displays if I was trying to talk to :0
rather than :0.0.

Those not using zaphod mode, but using xinerama mode instead,
obviously would have only the one DISPLAY, and thus xset should affect
them all.

The dpms timeouts are global to the X server, not per screen.
Similarly, DPMSEnabled is a global boolean flag.  I don't think there's
a bug here.
