I expect this to be instantaneous! If I were coming out of a suspended state, I could understand some delay. However, I'm not coming out of a suspended state, I just coming out of a screen lock. I do not like how this works. The whole purpose of this, as far as I'm concerned, is to increase the lifespan of my display monitors. All I want this to do, when a inactivity timeout occurs, is turn off all my monitor, and the only delay I expect, when coming back to my desktop, is what ever delay my monitor causes; the desktop should be fully available even before my monitor starts to display the desktop again. Having to press Enter and waiting 5 or 10 seconds before I can start working is NOT something that anyone wants. + Also, there should be separate setting for "blank screen x time", and + "monitor power off after x time". + + My ideal settings would to make the screen go black after 5 minutes of + inactively and to turn my monitors completely off after 15 minutes of + inactively, and I'd like to control whether each of these requires + password authentication or not. On the 5 minute one, I personally would + note require a password, but I would require a password after monitor + going off.
