That tells me that /etc/apm/suspend is not being called. logger is a command, which takes either a message or reads from stdin. "logger suspend" on my laptop gives me:
$ logger suspending $ grep suspending /var/log/messages Apr 12 08:50:42 dante phessler: suspending $ So, for some reason this file is not being ran. Lets focus on that for now. Can you run /etc/apm/suspend by itself? NOT with "sh" in front, but like: $ /etc/apm/suspend $ That should do two things. That should generate a syslog message, and activate your screensaver. If it only does a syslog message, then that is a good first step.
