"log in"? Username AND password? That sounds like a problem I was
encountering with resume and kpowersave (don't let that scare you - keep
reading, it's not KDE or powersave related). When you sleep (or suspend),
and screensaver is configured, you should get a password-only prompt, but
for some video cards X aborts if it tries to restore the video while you're
in the X session, so you need to do a "chvt" to a console _before_
sleep/suspend begins, and then "chvt" back to the X session after the video
is reset.

Sorry - unclear. I meant the password prompt that xscreensaver pops up.


If this is what's happening, you can test it by manually switching to a
console before sleeping, and see if you still need to log in after resume
(and switching back to your X session).

When I used the acpi-support package, this seemed to be automatic (look
for "chvt" in the suspend scripts - perhaps it only happens for actual
suspend, not sleep, as I never used sleep). Now that I'm using powersave,
I've had to modify a config parameter.

Ok. But my problem is the normal password prompt. I want to just wake up
directly to the desktop, with no having to enter my password (or,
ideally, xscreensaver involved so I don't have to trigger an input event
just to wake the screen up too).

We have a nice configuration setting to disable login prompting when
booting up; should perhaps be something for this in the power functions
setting too.
