Hello all,

after upgrading to MGA9 my HP 24" monitor is no longer switched off
automatically after a certain time.
I have set xscreensaver as the default screensaver,
in xfce4 "Application autostart" Power manag. is set to start on login,
in xfce4 power manager, "Display power management" is set to "switch off
after" 15 min.
If I wait for that time and don't touch anything, the monitor still shows
xscreensaver's pictures.

Anyone have a solution, or know how to test in detail?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Markus

In MGA9 there are many things messed up. What I've found out is, for
instance, that xfce's energy settings do not take effect at all, though
they look like coworking with xscreensaver's settings, and xscreensaver
"forgets" its settings, so that every checked box is unchecked after
leaving and reentering. So, it's never clear what xscreensaver does. After
opening the settings form and reading the values, they should be displayed
correctly, as it was in former versions.

Hmm!! "so that every checked box is unchecked after leaving and
reentering" .... Could it be the preferences file is set to "Read Only"??

Hi, good point, thanks!
Unfortunately, that seems not to be the "root cause" -- I tested with a
newly created user and empty home space and the same occurred.

Best regards,
Markus
