I did an upgrade from F24 to F25.
Everything seems to be working fine.
I use xscreensaver instead of gnome-screensaver with a Gnome desktop.
I have noticed that the timer for the screensaver is not being reset
when I type or use the mouse. I can be using the machine and the
screensaver will activate and then deactivate (since I'm typing or
using the mouse).
Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior?
I do with Xfce/xscreensaver. It can be annoying, but I had written it
off to using synergy to share my desktop's mouse and keyboard with my
laptop off to the side. I assumed the screensaver was being triggered by
the lack of activity on the laptop. Perhaps that was wrong. I do know
that if either screen is blank, hitting a key on the laptop OR the
desktop wakes up both displays. Again, I wrote this off to synergy.
Is this something with xscreensaver or is the timer reset somewhere
else?
Uhm, perhaps something else is consuming the mouse moves/keyboard
activity before the screensaver sees it. Smells more like a dbus
issue to me, but I could be wrong.
