Hello! |
2 |
I am trying to make XScreensaver turn off the backlight of my laptop |
3 |
screen when I lock it, however I cannot achieve exactly what I want. |
4 |
I have the following situation: |
5 |
|
6 |
1. If I set XScreensaver to activate the "Blak Screen Only" mode after |
7 |
some very-very long time (in order it not to start automatically) and |
8 |
then turn the option "Quick Power-off in Blank Only Mode" on, the |
9 |
backlight does not get turned off when I lock the screen, although |
10 |
XScreensaver starts and indeed makes it blank. |
11 |
|
12 |
2. If I set "Power management enabled" just above the previous one and |
13 |
then set Suspend/Standby/Off times to some large values (for example, |
14 |
720 min), XScreensaver turns the backlight off just after I lock it. |
15 |
But if I touch a mouse or keyboard (which calls the unlock dialogue), |
16 |
it does not turn the backlight off again after the unlock dialogue |
17 |
disappears. |
18 |
|
19 |
3. If I set the "Off After" parameter to e.g. 1 min, XScreensaver does |
20 |
turn off the backlight on locking and about 1 minute after the last |
21 |
activity (that caused unlock dialogue to appear). But in this case |
22 |
XScreensaver also turns the screen off when I don't need it, i.e. when |
23 |
I just do not move mouse or touch keyboard for 1 minute -- even without |
24 |
the explicit screen locking. |
25 |
|
26 |
If I recall correctly, I had this feature working properly some time |
27 |
ago (probably a year or more). It did not blank the screen until I |
28 |
click the "Lock" button and did turn off the backlight again when the |
29 |
unlock dialogue disappeared. |
30 |
So could somebody please give me a hint on how to do the trick? |
31 |
|
32 |
Thanks! |
