I have a hardware KVM that I use to switch between multiple computers.
I had one back when I was using VGA type systems. I gave it up after I got a late model flat-panel and DVI. So I can no longer try to reproduce your problem,
When I switch away from my Tumbleweed system with the KVM switch and return I have a blanked screen. The screen saver is disabled. Screen locker is disabled. DPMS is disabled.
KDE systemsetting has a gazillion other settings and I do wonder how they interact. I haven't explored many of them. You say this is specific to KDE so that _must_ be some KDE-spoecific setting.
How can I disable this behaviour?
I can do a CTRL-ALT-F1 and get a console when this happens. No amount of keyboard mashing restores the KDE screen.
A few time I've had the system come back to me on a different VT. The settings I have say that it should be Ctl-Alt-F[123456] to get consoles and login (though i don't use them all) and so X should start on VT#7. But sometimes its appeared on VT#8 and once on VT#9. Have you explored that in your keyboard mashing? I have absolutely no idea why this happens and its not consistent or reproducible-to-order. At other times I've had KDE sleep and blank and not wake up at the keyboard; its taken mouse jiggling & clicking And even then its not immediate. You don't mention having tried this. I have no idea why and while its an irritant, its not an 'often enough' irritant to be reportable and and not reproducible enough to warrant a bug description. Please note that while you can reproduce this to order with the KVM, I am not using one but it happens (occasionally) none the less. There does seem to be a problem. You have it worse but its not unique.
This is a HP Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 system Desktop with what hardware info tells me is "Intel Q33/Q35/G33 graphics.
Mine is the Q35. Dell Optiplex. 13.1 KDE 4.14 Kernel is 4.1 series. Doesn't seem to happen with 'standard', does with "desktop". Perhaps that says something. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
