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,
