screen-lock doesn't appear to work properly F18, F19 KDE
Good evening all - at least, it is evening here in Austria!
My 2nd machine is a Toshiba Equium A60-692, with a (massive!) 40GB
harddrive & a (minute!) 750MB RAM.
It used to work fine, then I tried to fedup from F17 to F18......
Most of the time it would work fine, as long as I kept the mouse moving.
If I let the mouse stand still for too long, the screen would go black
& a couple of seconds later the cursor would vanish & I'd have to do a
power down restart to get the system back. Same story if I did a
right-click & lock screen - no wa to get the screen back.
Tried a fresh install of F18, same result; fresh install of F19 same
result (all with KDE)
Tried a fresh install of XFCE F19 Live, everything works fine.
Does anyone have any idea what might be stopping screen-lock from
working? Or how to go about finding out what is really happening???
As ever, many thanks for any ideas!!
