Hello
I have just installed puppy 2.16 on a hard drive. I have used puppy 2.14 and 2.15.
Most everything has always worked fine but I have never succeeded in making work the screensaver or the suspend mode. In the JWM configuration manager, i have enabled the screensaver and dpms options (through a window gtkxset), but nothing NEVER happens.
I don't know what to do. I have noticed that whatever version i use, the options Menu : "Restart JWM" and "Change Window Manager" never works.Nothing happens when i select one of them.
Thanks for your help ( i post in Beginners because i have never heard of such problems, so i imagine it's a newbie problem)
How to use screensaver or suspend mode in 2.16?
Re: suspend mode
Some folks have suspend probs ('pute freezes then too) on laps (think older) that I don't think they've resolved. I tried mine out (newer ones) after hearing about it & had no probs.
Lotsa diff gear out there & don imagine an OS can be made to make it all work. Dunno about yours. What type 'pute? Haven't heard about this being a prob with desktops.

Try a search of suspend
Dunno much about the whole thing myself.

Farele,
Can You even suspend and resume SEVERAL times in a row with the script - for me it works perfect once, the second time I try to resume Puppy has fallen into a coma and I have to perform a brutal power off to proceed.
Anyone got a clue of how this can happen? Is there any way to "reset" the video states (?) or whatever is affected by the script...???

Hmm, i have a similar question that isn't worth a new topic.
How can i make the settings i've made with gxset run at every boot? Because now, every time i shut the X server down or reboot, it reverts to the defaults.
I've noticed that i can save my gxset settings into the .xset.sh file, but how can i make it to be executed at every boot?

Chouca,
Suspend works fine, even if i suspend and resume several times in a row.
Th3_uN1Qu3,
I have installed the script "suspend" because i have never succeeded in making work the dpms settings ; maybe a hardware problem. But it seems to me that other gxset settings doesnt work : i have not yet heard any sound when i click on the "Beep me Scotty" button; whatever the parameters i selected.
