Description of problem: In System > Preferences > Look & Feel > Screensaver (a gnome session), I have idle time set to 2 hours, I have unchecked Activate Screensaver and Lock screen In Power Management I have Put computer to sleep set to never Put display to sleep set to never Nevertheless, I start a long yum update, come back in about 15 minutes, and find the screen has blanked and I have to wiggle the mouse for a minute or so to get a picture back and see how far the update has gotten. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-power-manager-2.23.91-1.fc10.x86_64 How reproducible: every time I leave it alone for a while Steps to Reproduce: 1.see above 2. 3. Actual results: blank screen Expected results: leave display active Additional info:
This seems to be fixed in latest f10 beta. I reinstalled from scratch, reset my screensaver settings once again to always on, and let packagekit download the gazillion updates already out there for rawhide, and when I came back much later, the screen was still visible.
Thanks, I'll consider it fixed then.
