Screen saver to "Off" or disabled. Find if there is a time limit to enter log on response. I believe it is possible to limit this screen valid for entry for "x" seconds only. If log on screen in openSUSE is left open, with no entry, the screen blanks, similar to what you describe. However easy to recover, by shutting down and restarting. PS I never work on battery during any log on. Effectively laptop is tethered to power cable, and logged in , open , except when being moved between rooms (battery use about 5 minutes to 12 year old battery). -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
