Description Roman Gruber 2015-07-10 06:31:56 UTC

xscreensaver locks the screen regardless of user activity.
I type and move my mouse and my screen gets locked from xscreensaver on random. I assume that the watchdog timer, timeout timer, is not reset with every keystroke and every mouse movement! Thats the only explanation for this behaviour

qlist -Iv xscreensaver
x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.33
localhost roman # qlist -Iv i3
x11-misc/i3status-2.9
x11-proto/dri3proto-1.0
x11-wm/i3-4.10.2
localhost roman # qlist -Iv xorg-server
x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.1-r1
localhost roman # qlist -Iv eudev
sys-fs/eudev-3.1.2

Reproducible: Always

5.33 has some changes related as "Better detection of user activity on modern GNOME systems".

Do you see the same with =x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.32?
