will both provide you the necessary information.
and xset works fine, I have been using it for several years rather than a pretty picture screen blanker, but it does not "lock" the screen/keyboard.
The command I use (xset s 600 s blank) is given in the title. The relevant (It think) output of xset q is: Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 600 cycle: 600 DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On It appears to understand my command, but the screen never blanks! Is something in openSuse keeping it alive?
I have: Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 600 cycle: 600
DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 300 Suspend: 400 Off: 500 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On
And the screen blanks automagically after about 5 minutes or immediately if I tell it to from command-line (1 second delay).
What command do you use to blank from the command line? Forgot that one:-) 600 should give you 10 minute (60 * 10) time out, so with 5 minute delay it sounds like you have something else going on here.
