[opensuse-factory] 11.3 M7 - screen blanking?
I'm running 11.3 M7 (KDE4) on an ASUS EEE 1005, and it's working quite well. I've bumped into a few of the known bugs.... so no big/new issues. Overall, it's working very well.. better than 11.2 on the same machine (eg WiFi, sleep, suspend, display resolution etc. all work perfectly right from the initial install... no tweaking necessary) But... I'm having a small problem with the screen blanking. I've set all power management to off, no screen saver etc etc. Exactly 10 minutes after the last keyboard/mouse activity, the display is blanked. Is this a known bug? Is there some setting somewhere that's being missed or ignored?

Had the same problem with my Dell Studio 1745. After much googling and perusing man pages came up with this short script which can be put into autostart. #! /bin/bash xset s noblank -dpms exit 0 Now screen saver works the way I set it up and no blanking.

So... a workaround... which tells me this is a bug. I poked around in the bug reports and didn't find anythign similar, so I opened a new one on this... https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=610199 C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
