[SOLVED] How to turn off auto log out?

I updated a week ago, after that my laptop started to turn on the login screen after 1000 seconds of idle. How can I turn off this? Systemd configs does not help. My WM is IceWM (without DE), I did not find auto log out setting in it.

There's no "auto log out"
What you see is either some screensaver (does "logging in" present you the session you left) or the session or the display server crashed.
In the later case, see the system journal, the X11 log and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump

Mesa amber only has support for a low number of very old videocards.
For everything not supported it will run graphics on the cpu instead.

Keep an eye on system temperature and load.
