I'm running SLED 10.0rc3 and it works great. I only have one little
tweak to make and then I'll be 100%. When I log out and come back an

there at the login screen burning away. What do I need to check or
configure to make the login screen blank out after inactivity? Any
help is always greatly apprcieated.

I know very little about GNOME anymore -- but you could always turn on
the screen blanking in your BIOS, if you really need it to blank. I no
longer have GNOME installed, but you could search for a file named
something like 'gdmrc' or, if you have 'locate' installed:

locate gdm | grep rc

and see if there are any clues in there (assuming you find one, of
course).

Thanks for the reply, but I should have done my homework a little better.
I turned off xgl and now the login screen blanks the way it is supposed
to. To further refine the question, how do I cope with this situation with
xgl enabled?
