Hello! I am trying to make XScreensaver turn off the backlight of my laptop screen when I lock it, however I cannot achieve exactly what I want. I have the following situation:
1. If I set XScreensaver to activate the "Blak Screen Only" mode after some very-very long time (in order it not to start automatically) and then turn the option "Quick Power-off in Blank Only Mode" on, the backlight does not get turned off when I lock the screen, although XScreensaver starts and indeed makes it blank. 2. If I set "Power management enabled" just above the previous one and then set Suspend/Standby/Off times to some large values (for example, 720 min), XScreensaver turns the backlight off just after I lock it. But if I touch a mouse or keyboard (which calls the unlock dialogue), it does not turn the backlight off again after the unlock dialogue disappears. 3. If I set the "Off After" parameter to e.g. 1 min, XScreensaver does turn off the backlight on locking and about 1 minute after the last activity (that caused unlock dialogue to appear). But in this case XScreensaver also turns the screen off when I don't need it, i.e. when I just do not move mouse or touch keyboard for 1 minute -- even without the explicit screen locking. If I recall correctly, I had this feature working properly some time ago (probably a year or more). It did not blank the screen until I click the "Lock" button and did turn off the backlight again when the unlock dialogue disappeared. So could somebody please give me a hint on how to do the trick? Thanks! Vladimir ----- <v...@ukr.net>
