I only had "Blank After" and "Switch off" set. So the two machines weren't the same. But now, I am running the Pavilion without Light-Locker installed. Okay. This worked. It also didn't ask for a Password (which is the *reason* for light-locker). Now, I am going back to the HP Elitedesk 705 G1. I changed its "Put to sleep" to "Never" (which the Pavilion had). So I want to see if using only "Blank after" and "Switch off" on the Elitedesk, if it recreates the situation. So more testing. Meanwhile, I also am examining the Source Code for light-locker. I will return in a few hours. Once again, thanks! Kenneth Parker

Go to Power Settings. / Display. For my test, I used 2 minutes on "Blank after", 5 Minutes for "Put to sleep", and 9 minutes for "Switch off". Then, I come back in about 15 minutes. :-) I get a Flash, with something I might recognize as a Screen. and then Screen off. This is that OTHER Desktop, an HP Pavilion Desktop with an LG IPS 22MP56 Monitor. Now, at this point, I *am* going to Purge light-locker on that Machine and let it go to Power Save again. I am also pondering the Xorg.0.log to see if something obvious stands out. I'll be back. Thanks as always, Kenneth Parker
