[DNG] Screensaver issues
A few days ago I finally upgraded to the latest stable kernel 3.16.39-1+deb8u2. Now my screensaver isn't working properly. :( It keeps losing the ability to blank the screen and now never turns off the monitor after that. If I go into the screensaver settings this message pops up: The XScreenSaver daemon doesn't seem to be running on display ":0.0". Launch it now? Most often when I come out of suspend the screen is blanked and I have to wake it up. All minor annoyances but annoyances nonetheless. Should I downgrade the kernel, just live with it or is there a fix? golinux ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I have used the following on the x250: $ cat /etc/acpi/events/lenovo-brightup event=video[ /]brightnessup action=/etc/acpi/lenovo-bright.sh up $ cat /etc/acpi/events/lenovo-brightdown event=video[ /]brightnessdown action=/etc/acpi/lenovo-bright.sh down $ The script /etc/acpi/lenovo-bright.sh is attached to this email and is pretty straigthforward, apart from a bit of sugar aroud the essential stuff.

I used acpi event scripts on some of my notebooks. But on my new Thinkpad X230 the brightness keys don't work out of the box. I don't know what the problem is with this. With xfce-power-manager they work. And I don't want another tool for every key to work. One tool should handle all. ;-) As a workaround I defined the brightness keys in openbox/rc.xml to execute xbacklight, and handle lid close with acpi events as on my other notebooks. But that's all not satisfactory. Linux is a continuous construction area. :-( Jochen ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] No action on lid close with xfce4-power-manager
I have suspend on lid close working on fluxbox. ACPI handles it. It's just a matter of adding a few lines to a text configuration file. The hardest part is finding the instructions on the internet and I forgot exactly what lines to add where by the time I found a free moment to install on a different laptop, this time with MATE. Definitely not a bad idea to add it to the documentation. In the meantime, you can just open a root terminal and type in "pm-suspend" to put the laptop to sleep so it's a minor temporary nuisance. I'll post to the list if I remember before anyone else does.

Re: [DNG] No action on lid close with xfce4-power-manager
I think it may be that xfce4-power-manager is adapted to the notion that the lid button is handled by systemd-logind. In any case, I made it work by setting up an acpi event handler.
