screen lock on resume based on HAL

[wgandhi]

Hi

I have suspend/resume working well on my intel core 2 duo system with a DQ965GF board running Hardy. I had to unload the uhci_hcd module to make everything work.

Only issue is that if I suspend the system using the keyboard (special key) or the gnome log out button, I am presented with a password protected screen saver on resume. This is annoying as I dont want to remember 1 more password for my home system

I used gconf-editor to disabled the lock on suspend. If I suspend using sudo pm-suspend on the command line, I dont get the resume screen password locked. My guess is that the gnome logout button and keyboard use some HAL command which in turn uses pm-suspend. However, HAL introduces the password locked screen... How do I disable it?

What did you change in gconf-editor? On two laptops I've gone to /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock and unchecked suspend and hibernate and it's worked fine (it's not the best idea to do this but, my parents very old and get confused when a password dialog appears).

Those are the exact options I unchecked. It did solve the issue of getting a password on resume if I use the pm-suspend command at the command prompt.
However the log off button and keyboard still get the paswword dialog box.

Ah.. Solved the issue. It appears that the password dialog shows up if the gnome screen saver is running. Weird... Seems like a bug.

Here is what gconf-editor long description says about /app/gnome-power-manager/lock/suspend:

"Whether the screen is locked when the computer wakes up from a suspend. Only used if lock_use_screensaver_settings is false."

So the use_screensaver_settings must be also unchecked.
