I am also pondering the Xorg.0.log to >> see if something obvious stands out. >> > (Sorry, I hit the wrong button last time). There is a difference in this HP Pavilion. I only had "Blank After" and "Switch off" set. So the two machines weren't the same. But now, I am running the Pavilion without Light-Locker installed. Okay. This worked. It also didn't ask for a Password (which is the *reason* for light-locker). Now, I am going back to the HP Elitedesk 705 G1. I changed its "Put to sleep" to "Never" (which the Pavilion had). So I want to see if using only "Blank after" and "Switch off" on the Elitedesk, if it recreates the situation. So more testing. Meanwhile, I also am examining the Source Code for light-locker. I will return in a few hours. Once again, thanks! Kenneth Parker
