[opensuse-kde3] Leap 15.1 KDE3 screensaver problem
Hello! I want to thank all who made possible to use KDE3 in openSUSE Leap 15.1 (and previous releases). KDE3 works excellent in Leap 15.1. I found some earlier problems has been fixed, eg I can now switch runlevel in terminal sessions using init 3/5 when kdm3 is the login manager. I also found in KDE3 repo working shrew/ike which I missed in Leap 15.0. There is one problem in KDE3 session. I don't know if it is KDE3 specific, I havent't tried other session managers. The problem is when the screen saver is active, I can not wake the destop up using the mouse or the keyboard. I can switch to a terminal session (eg ctrl+alt+F1) and back to the graphical session (ctrl+alt+F7), and this switching wakes up KDE session. The secreensaver is set to "Blank Screen" and "Display Power Mangement" is turned of. This is my usual setup. My grapchics card is (from hwinfo output): PCI 02.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "Intel 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller" Vendor: pci 0x8086 "Intel Corporation" Device: pci 0x0102 "2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller" Revision: 0x09 Driver: "i915" Driver Modules: "i915" Any idea how to fix this?

Interesting, I have my screensaver set the same, but I do have powermanagement set to blank after 6 min and turn display off after 8 min. I have not had any problem with 15.0 or 15.1 waking up with the mouse or keyboard. I do recall a whole rash of issues with Intel chipsets over the past year. Are you using the standard kernel for 15.1? I recall the issues being with later kernels, but this may very well be an Intel specific issue. I have nvidia on my laptop and so far, no problems at all. I second the Kudos to the openSUSE folks keeping KDE3 the best darn KDE3 on earth! -- David C.

David, I enabled display power control (set "Enable display power management" option to on). Now the problem has gone. Even if all 3 options below (Standby after, Suspend after, Power off after) are set to disabled, the screensaver works.

You are welcome. Dunno why without DPMS it is being finicky, but all power/scrren/etc... issues have largely been turned over to DPMS, so it may be that the OS no longer generates events that are seen by the screensaver without DPMS being enabled. We will have to look into this at a later date. -- David C.
