Feature changed by: aschnell Feature #304395, revision 2 Title: Disabling (or handling) screensaver during installation openSUSE-11.1: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: locilka@novell.com Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We currently have screen-saver active during installation/upgrade. This is a bit problematic when some exception occurs and opens a pop-up window requesting some user-decision (Abort/Retry/Ignore/...). On slower networks, installation can take tens of minutes, even a few hours. It would be nice to disable the screen-saver (easy) or at least handle all the exceptions by disabling the screen-saver.

Suppose + you start the installation and go home or sleeping: I would expect that + the monitor powers off after some time. + We could add a call "xset dpms force on" to popups. But I doubt that + this is worth the effort. -- SUSE Feature Tool: http://partnerfate.suse.de/?rm=feature_show&id=304395
