When I was done, most things were pretty much the same, but now my screen turns off after about five minutes or so. This is not apparently related to xscreensaver, which is set not to go on until 30 minutes pass. Are there other screensavers that might be running, or some other explanation for the screen turning off after such a short time? Any mouse movement or keyboard touch turns it on again. I'm running 4.8-STABLE on an IBM ThinkPad X series, if it matters. Thanks. Jesse Sheidlower
