If you're not running KDE, with the powersave stuff enabled, SuSE 9.2
now locks the display and requires you to enter a password each time to
unlock it. (If you're using KDE, it just blanks it without locking it.)
The procedure below may be the wrong way to stop the locking (I couldn't
find any user-modifiable configuration files), but at least it works:
Edit /usr/lib/powersave/scripts/screen_saver and on the line in the
xlock_screen_saver function, insert "-nolock" in the xlock argument
list. I.e., change it to:
[ -n "$X_USER" -a -n "$DISP" ] && su $X_USER -s /bin/bash -c \
"$DPMS xlock -nolock -mode blank -display $DISP &"
I couldn't see any option in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/common to control
this - changing POWERSAVE_SCREENSAVER_SIMPLE from "no" to "yes" made no
difference
I wonder if it still suffers from the bug that if you close the lid
after the screensaver has blanked the display, the lid close toggles
the screen back into life...? That's next on my list of things to
investigate.
