View Full Version : Input (keyboard layout) settings & Screensaver Lock
hi all,
I have problem with Input (keyboard layout) settings.
I need to use 2 keyboard layouts US (as primary) and CZECH (as secondary).
I change input settings to 2 key.layouts ^^^, but after reboot is still only one (czech) keyboard layout! WTF?!
Ok... next problem, i need set> "require password from screensaver". I activated in security settings, but not works :(.
sorry for my bad english, THNX!
// iDeneb 10.5.7, Intel C2D, 2GB RAM, INTEL X3100 GPU
Hi, im installed iAtkos 10.5.7 and updated to 10.5.8 but problems is still here! HELP!
//EDIT1
// OK, im resolved the keyboard layout problem. Im deleted VoodooPS2Controller and now using AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext and ApplePS2Controller.kext
// The problem with screensaver lock still remains.

Not sure if it will help you like it did me but I used Oynx to clean up my caches and log files as well as some routine maintenance stuff. Now the lock works on the screensaver. If I had known it would have solved my problem, I would of wrote down what I did with it. Very powerful tool so if you use it, read the instructions and warnings carefully and if you have any fear, back up your data before running it. I've never had a problem with it but I make no guarantees either.
Hope it works for you.........

Just worked this on another machine. Make sure you have the latest Oynx (which is 2.0.4). I ran the Maintenance scripts under the Maintenance tab and all the tabs under cleanup (waiting until I did them all before letting it restart) Lock is now working on that machine. I did suffer a kernel panic on the voodoo drivers but I really don't think it was because of this and it only happened once.
Again -- Good Luck!
EDIT-> Application of the latest security update has put me back to a non functioning lock on the screensaver :-(

I found something that works for me. There is an option in the login options that allows you to use fast user switching. (I am the only one on my computer but) I am using this as the method to lock my computer. I just let the screensaver/powersave options kick in on their own. Doesn't solve the initial problem but does allow me to quickly lock my screen when I walk away from my computer. 2 clicks of the mouse and your there. Here's the link for whoever is interested.

EDIT-> INterestingly enough I found out if you just let the screensaver come on by itself, the normal lock function works. - Just an FYI
