OK. Lets try below...
First remove the current xorg.conf file and create a new.
Code:
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo nvidia-xconfig
Then create a new configuration file inside /xorg.conf.d/ (if the folder does not exist, create it)
Code:
sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
Then
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
add these lines inside
Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LVDS0"
Option "DPMS" "false"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "ServerLayout0"
Option "BlankTime" "0"
Option "StandbyTime" "0"
Option "SuspendTime" "0"
Option "OffTime" "0"
EndSection
and save the file.
Important here is to replace LVDS0 , with your actual monitor . E.g VGA1 or whatever it is.. find it with
Save the file and reboot.
Thanks
xrandr output is
Code:
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 0.0*
800x600 0.0
640x480 0.0
UPDATE: I used a live usb stick of 12.04.1 and this is what xrandr returned
Code:
xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1360 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA-1 connected 1360x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 290mm
1360x768 60.2*+ 60.0

1280x1024 75.0 60.0
1440x900 75.0 59.9
1280x960 60.0
1280x800 84.9 74.9 59.8

640x400 85.1
640x350 85.1
DVI-I-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
TV-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
so i put VGA-1 within that 10-monitor.conf file and the system gets to the login manager but is unresponsive, no mouse movement or keyboard, can't go to tty sessions.
I should mention that I have tried adding those parameters to the server layout section of a xorg.conf file and it made no impact on the DPMS SUSPEND screen.. I am stumped!! I should also note that when there is no xorg.conf file this is what an Xorg.0.log file looks like, notice the VESA mentions, also I believe nouveau is being loaded per lsmod but I have it blacklisted within a file within /etc/modprobe.d/ very strange.
