The xdm problem has been fixed - there was some problem with X
resources, solved by reinstalling cpp of all things. The guys on
IRC channel #debian were the ones who solved it - thanks
especially to dhd.
I still can't persuade my screen to blank though. The screen
section on my XF86Config does have the relevant settings -
BlankTime 0, SuspendTime 30, OffTime 60. I have xscreensaver
configured to kick in at 15 minutes, which it does, but it remains
on the display well past the hour mark.
It did used to work. What might I have broken that causes this
behaviour?
