I agree 100%, the automatic locking on the screen blanker MUST be excised from 
the new ISO installs.  It may be a good thing on an ordinary linux install, but 
has no business what so ever on a machine control!  Unfortunately I don't 
remember exactly what I did to get rid of it.  I do remember it was a pain to 
find the secret hidden place it was and it took me half a day to find it.

pc amd64 version, downloaded and installed on Monday.
On an intel D-525-MW mobo.

Graphical install failed, couldn't find a net driver, but the other text 
install sailed right thru it.

The pi's blanker is acting different, but its not logging me out, but it may 
stop any shells I walk away from, they are often, but not always, gone when it 
unblanks, but its not powering down a decade newer monitor either.  Leaves it 
blanked, but a dim grey that goes black when the mouse is touched, and the 
normal screen background shows up half a sec later. HDMI driven.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
