Re: laptop fails at screensaver with gnome

this might have to do with gnome-power-manager. I'm not sure if the issue is with the screensaver or the monitor turning off as I told it to in power management.

Re: laptop fails at screensaver with gnome

Gnome-power-manager and gnome-screensaver are kind of broken...

Gnome-power-manager and gnome-screensaver are kind of broken...

so it isn't just me?
I've tried downgrading them, but I' haven't tried downgrading them both at the same time
I'll try that later today.

Re: laptop fails at screensaver with gnome

Did that work for you? I'm just getting around to this bug. So many small things to perfect an install...
