I've observed this as well on a clean install of 11.2 RC1. Initially I thought it was a power mgmt issue, but when the screensaver kicks on there is the signature Gnome fade-to-black, not the abrupt shutoff of pwr mgmt. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What exactly happens, if you set any visual screen saver? Will you see screensaver animation after 4 minutes? Or you will get only a blank screen after 4 minutes?

Blank screen. Took longer than 4 minutes, though.

Or only backlight will off after 4 minutes?

Backlight stays on.

Or display suspend is activated then? (It may be a bit hard to discriminate the last three states.)

No clue. How do I tell?

What report "xset q", sections Screen Saver and DPMS (Energy Star)?

Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 600 cycle: 600 DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On --- This is particularly annoying when running full-screen flash video (Hulu, Amazon Video Library), which IIRC, disabled the screensaver altogether on 11.1. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I guess that it is not gnome-screensaver, but X screen-saver mode, which blanks your screen. It is set to 10 minutes (probably in /etc/X11/xorg.conf).

Try:

xset s off

xset command resolved the issue. Curious how it got set, why its not consistent with gnome? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
