No more problems until the other day when I decided to try again, but it's happened again once since I enabled it. It happens both ways: sometimes the screen gets shut off when the system is not idle, and sometimes it doesn't get shut off when the system is idle. And _most_ of the time, it works correctly. I don't think it has anything to do with the screen saver per se; that seems to be ok. I think it's the power management that's a little confused. Joe I go with the power management theory. About two updates of something ago, the power management system stopped putting my monitor into standby.

Random screen blanking -- a clue
There's been a steady trickle of complaints from different folks about their screens going blank for a second, or two, after upgrading to F11. I've observed this too -- it happens on one of my laptops every couple of days, or so. I've always had the impression that, for some reason, this was the screensaver kicking in. They way that happened always gave me that idea. I'm now pretty sure that, sometimes, for some reason the screensaver kicks in even though the system is not idle. I just finished typing, and began reading something on the screen, when the screen went black about three seconds after I stopped typing. I did nothing, and the screen continued to stay black. After waiting about ten seconds, I pressed the shift key, and my desktop came back. It's the screensaver.

The screen going dead while I was working scared me half to death a few times until I went to the power management settings and changed it to never put the display to sleep. No more problems until the other day when I decided to try again, but it's happened again once since I enabled it. It happens both ways: sometimes the screen gets shut off when the system is not idle, and sometimes it doesn't get shut off when the system is idle. And _most_ of the time, it works correctly. I don't think it has anything to do with the screen saver per se; that seems to be ok. I think it's the power management that's a little confused.
