Ugh, yeah, that was it! I closed Brave and the screen blanking started again. And, of course, all those other "restarts" i had tried left the browser actually running. And it's not just having the browser open... I just re-opened Brave to reply to this email, and blanking is working fine. Which is why i hadn't noticed the correlation between having the browser open and the blanking stopping before... It must be only when certain tabs are (re)loaded. > this lock is > between the browser and xserver. Hrm... is there anything in X i can do to prevent this lock? I don't see anything in Brave's settings. > xset q will show > the screensaver/dpms config and you'll probably find its what e set it to... Yes, i checked this before. The timeout settings are 10, 11, and 12 seconds after e's, and change when i make changes in e's settings. So i knew e was communicating with X correctly about this, and using xset to manually blank the screen worked... Well, thanks for clearing up the mystery! Now to figure out how to prevent it :) Thanks, -Conrad. -- Shine like thunder Cry like rain _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
