[Bug 1797493] [NEW] xset blank does not work

[dman777]

Public bug reported:

one at localhost:~$ xset -version
xset 1.2.3

one at localhost:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release:	18.04
Codename:	bionic

X.Org X Server 1.19.6

xset blank is not working. Nothing happens when I do `xset s blank; xset
s 100`. While this works on my laptop with Xenial, it does not on my PC
with Bionic Beaver server edition. What I expect is the screen to go
blank and it does not.

However, dps features do work... just not the blank screen saver
feature.
