understood, I couldn't find it, now I have, thanks. Now it seems that my main issue is that my screen won't blank, so lock (20 seconds later) doesn't happen either. sauron:~$ xset q Keyboard Control: (...) Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 60 cycle: 0 DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 11 Suspend: 12 Off: 13 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On things look good. > bluetooth lock devices too. when that bt device goes away (can't be pinged) e > will auto-lock if you set it as a lock devices. it's in the bt gadget popup in > the controls per device you paired. oh yes, that's nice. I don't have one, but could get one. Ideally this should work with my phone, but maybe my phone BT has too much range (charging in another room would still keep the laptop awake) > i removed presentation mode. there are actions now you can bind to turn > blanking on/off (under Screen -> Blanking On/Off/Toggle). so bind some key > combo to it. :) Everything shows that it should blank (see screenshot) but does not. I tried to set the timeout to 0.1m (6 sec), I can't find anywhere if E thinks blanking is currently enabled or not (a widget or status would help), I set CTRL+SHIFT+B to blanking on, apply, hit CTRL+SHIFT+B, wait and nothing, no blanking, and as a result, no screen lock either. I had synergy and killed it. I also had mplayer and killed it just in case they were stopping X from sleeping. What else could it be?
