I've just built a new system and installed latest Centos 5.3 on it. My old box also has an up to date Centos 5 on it.
Some things are just plain different between the two installations, and it's stumping me why that would be. Example:
One other thing that is "weirdly" different:
On the old box, when the screensaver kicks in (I have it set for blank screen only) it takes 5-10 seconds to fade to black.
On the new box it changes instantaneously.
I'm guessing there's some setting I can make in gconf-editor that controls that, but so far I've not found it.
But wherever it is set, I've never messed with it on either box, so why would one fade to black slowly, and the other instantaneously?
Anyone know how to adjust that setting?
Thanks!
on the old box, the shutdown dialog offers restart, cancel, shutdown, and also standby and hibernate. and the standby and hibernate options work, too.
The new box, it only offers restart, cancel, or shutdown.
Oddly, the main "System" dropdown offers "suspend" as well as "logoff" and "shutdown" submenus.
Since it's a desktop, I won't often want to suspend or hibernate, but it may occasionally be nice to have the option to hibernate (e.g., power is off, UPS is about dead, hibernate could save my work.)
Ideas, anyone?
Thanks!
