Hi,
the screensaver makes me nuts.

It only starts if i log out and log in again. I disabled autologin, so I hoped maybe then it will work also as if i log out/in,
but no change. It only starts when I log out and in again. Kextstat ist the same before and after, so what the hell does
the logout initiate to make the saver start? How can i achive this without logging off?
Any Ideas?

you could use this in terminal to check that the time is set properly. (time in seconds)
defaults -currentHost read com.apple.screensaver idleTime -int

and possibly input a value this way
defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver idleTime -int 28800

Probably not the problem but at least you can check what's happening.

Hi, thanks for answering.
This shows me the time in Seconds to start up, actualy its 3 Minutes.

defaults -currentHost read com.apple.screensaver idleTime -int
180

So everything seems to work fine. I can also start the saver by hotCorner and by Terminal.
Only the automatic start does work until i log off at least once ???
really strange....

Very strange, sorry I don't have a clue!

Solved:

Kernel 9.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.0 works fine.
9.1 has been ok after clean install, but lost it somehow.
Now with new kernel and new smbios everything works fine again!

Great to hear, that could have been the related problem. - Enjoy!
