Hi,
After poking around a bit, I managed to disable the auto-screenlock
function in CDE by commenting out these 2 extensions in
/var/X11/Xserver.conf, and restarting X:
ScreenSaverExtensionInit
MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
May not be the best solution around but it works :)
Thanks also to Phil Shirts who sent in a similar solution:
>From Phil Shirts <shirts_at_zeeman.lmsal.com>:
==========================================================
To modify the Style Manager - Screen component to disable/remove the
"Screen Lock" feature, perform the following tasks. This will change
the personality of the Style Manager - Screen dialog and configure it
as a "Screen without Lock Extensions" system. This will take effect
System-Wide.
- Rename the following file and have the user logout of the
desktop
and log back in to have the change take effect.
# mv /usr/shlib/X11/libextScrnSvr.so \
/usr/shlib/X11/libextScrnSvr.so.original
The differences in the Style Manager - Screen dialog can be seen by
comparing the two based on the Xserver Screen Saver Extension
(/usr/shlib/X11/libextScrnSvr.so) availability.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Screen without Lock Extensions"
- DtStyle - Screen Dialog appears with the following sections:
Auto Screen Blanking - used to enable/disable automatic screen blanking
feature and fustomize.
Front Panel Lock - used to customize which type of background is
displayed when the user clicks on Front Panel
Lock control.
======================================================
------ original question -----
How can I disable the CDE auto screenlock function in 4.0D?

thanks,
