Description

I have linux mint tara with xfce. I have enabled option "Blank After X" minutes. I use LG display with HDMI with integrated intel core i7 graphics card.

What I expect: black screen that makes my display go in power save mode that turns off the light completely but keeps wait the any non zero pixel. What I see: after X minutes on the my display I see bright image and caption "check you cable".

Also I have tried almost all combintations, 4 simplest of them:

  1. just blank after 1 minutes, Pot to sleep - never, Switch off - never
  2. Blank - never, Pot to sleep - 1 minutes, Switch off - never
  3. Blank - never, Pot to sleep - never, Switch off - 1 minutes
  4. Blank - 1 minute, Pot to sleep - 10 minute, Switch off - 1 minutes the result is the same - "check cable"
