Description of problem: I have an external monitor. I set up Gnome to use both displays (notebook and external) and normally close the lid. But gnome-screensaver is configured to suspend the machine when closed and no external power, so it promptly goes to sleep. I have to restart the machine to ble abe to use it. I set the System->Preferences->Monitors->Cconfigure display settings to use the external monitor by default, but it doesn't work (settings don't stay). Ditto for System->Preferences->Monitor settings. [I try to run the machine without external power for a while so as to conserver the battery] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-screensaver-2.30.0-2.fc14.x86_64 gnome-session-2.31.2-2.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: (See above) Actual results: Machine suspends, have to turn it on to be able to use it. It stays on after that (until timeout with no use) Expected results: Machine stays on as long as the external monitor is connected Additional info: Sorry that I'm not knowledegable enough about Gnome to pin this down further.

This went away some time ago. Can't finger the update that fixed this, sorry. gnome-screensaver hasn't changed.
