[gentoo-user] screensaver problem

[Philip Webb]

I have Xscreensaver started by  .xinit  & it runs as it should ;
each saver is set to run for  3 min .  When I'm asleep, I kill Xscreensaver
& the monitor blanks after  5 min , which is also what is expected.

However, something is telling the monitor to blank after  5 min ,
even when Xscreensaver is running.  The 1st saver runs for  3 min ,
then the next one starts & runs for  2 min , then the screen blanks.
When I hit a key or move the mouse, the screen wakes up
& if there's no activity for  5 min  Xscreensaver takes over
& the savers run for  5 min  before the screen blanks again.
Instead, the savers should run continually till activity resumes.

Can anyone suggest what is telling the monitor to blank after  5 min
regardless of whether Xscreensaver is running or not ?
