Xscreensaver 5.157/2/2023 Last edited by PeniWize 20th June 2012 at 03:32 AM. Sorry about the crippled links but the forum limits post content. I never would have found the solution without the suggestion to investigate the XFCE forum (I didn't know it existed). No more screeensaver automatic start after login. After some investigation of xfconf (see /journal/2008/10/xfconf-a-new-configuration-storage-system and /viewtopic.php?id=80635), I used xfce4-settings-editor to create a new Boolean property named "/startup/screensaver/enabled" in the "xfce4-session" channel and I set its value to FALSE. XScreenSaver is an extensible screensaver and screen locker for Unix. Search the file for "screensaver_enabled", which you'll find is set by the output of `xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /startup/screensaver/enabled`. Upon inspection of that file, I discovered that the screensaver is automatically started by XFCE (by default) in case the machine is resuming from sleep or hibernation. I read /tips#how_to_customize_starting_xfce and found a reference to "/etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc".

My video chip set is: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07). I'm not very familiar with the configuration of xscreensaver and xfce4. I do not know why it starts immediately instead of after 10 minutes has passed. Upstream connections xscreensaver head XScreenSaver is a modular screen saver and locker for the X Window System. Ii chromium 1:1.99.1-7.The screen saver starts and locks the screen shortly after login (usually within four or five seconds), however xscreensaver is configured to start after 10 minutes.

That breaks decades of muscle memory and also stretches my patience, since I don't want to first have to instruct the computer to show the dialog before it allows me to punch in the password. With version 6, it loses all keystrokes until the dialog is actually displayed, which on my system sometimes takes a second or two. With version 5.x I started noticing that sometimes it would lose the first couple of characters when doing so (especially when typing fast). For the past decades, you could walk up to an XScreensaver-protected machine and hammer in the password before the dialog was shown, and it just worked.
