close all your apps and see. i bet you one is holding a lock on screen blanking - most likely your web browser. they now start doing this whenever a browser is playing media (video - but it may not apparently be video. there are web page add s now that are videos ... so it could be any web page). this lock is between the browser and xserver. e has nothing to do with it. xset q will show the screensaver/dpms config and you'll probably find its what e set it to... it's the xserver that is responsible for handling that timeout and delivering events to e to say the screensaver started (and the e fades things out - letting the dpms settings a few seconds later handle the full power off). > When i first run enlightenment, screen blanking works fine.
