Thanks for having a look. On my side it's not happening reliably, so havne't pinned it down, although it's definitely linked to the screensaver having reset this by the time I unlock the screen. I a using E's built in screensaver. I guess I could switch back to xlock
I just locked with E CTRL+ALT+L, unlocked, and immediately see: Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 300 cycle: 300 DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 11 Suspend: 12 Off: 13 DPMS is Enabled > there it's set to 10 sec. 0 will turn this feature off so it'll just have the > usual blanking timeout (e.g. 10min/600sec in this case). once you unlock the > screensaver blanking time should go back to the normal amount. you may find > the > screensaver timeout will be LESS because of backlight dimming. i had it off in > the above example. if i have it on and set to 5 seconds like: > > http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-64fda48aa43879.64018673.png mmh, bummer, looks like the SS is gone already. I assume you referred to "special timeout when screen is locked"? If so, I tried to set it to 0, but locking and unlocking brought me back to Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 300 cycle: 300 DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 11 Suspend: 12 Off: 13 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On So, no dice. Any idea what I can try to tweak outside of removing the E screensaver altogether? Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
