Package: kscreensaver-xsavers Version: 4:3.5.3-1 Severity: normal
I have wondered why my screen sometimes blanks after 5 minutes even though power management is set to 30 minutes. I found out that i had the 5 minutes set up in the KDE screensaver-dialog, but that the screensaver itself was disabled. Using "xset q" i found out that after changing that value to (lets say) 20 minutes the scrensaver values are correct: Excerpt from 'xset q' --------------------- Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 0 cycle: 600 --------------------- (to change the value i had to activate the scrensaver, change the value, then deactivate it again) If i now lock the screen of my computer with the KDE-lockicon in the taskbar the screensaver comes up (as configured and expected). But after unlocking the screen the screensaver somehow has read its timeout-value from the config-file, even though it is still disabled: Excerpt from 'xset q' --------------------- Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 1210 cycle: 600 --------------------- The timeout-value in the X-Server will return to zero if you change the timeout in KDE as described above. The workaround is obvious: set the timeout to a value that will not disturb you (like 240 minutes, your eyes would be squares by then ;-) but it irks me and may confuse people, hence i reported that little bug... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kscreensaver-xsavers depends on: ii kdebase-bin 4:3.5.3-2 core binaries for the KDE base mod ii kdelibs4c2a 4:3.5.3-1 core libraries and binaries for al ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-5 GCC support library ii libqt3-mt 3:3.3.6-2 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-7 X11 client-side library ii libxt6 1:1.0.0-5 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xscreensaver 4.24-4 Automatic screensaver for X Versions of packages kscreensaver-xsavers recommends: ii kscreensaver 4:3.5.3-1 additional screen savers released ii kwin 4:3.5.3-2 the KDE window manager ii xscreensaver-gl 4.24-4 GL(Mesa) screen hacks for xscreens -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
