Fedora 14 overriding power management preferences?


Hi Folks.

I have an odd problem since preupgrading from Fedora 12 to Fedora 14 (which otherwise worked quite well, FWIW).

My power management settings are set to never put the monitor to sleep, yet after a certain amount of time, lo and behold, the Fedora box has gone blank and I have to enter my user information and password to get back to my gnome session.

In the power management preferences I have "never" selected for both putting the computer or display to sleep.

In the screensaver preferences "Lock Screen After" is *not* checked. (And if I click "advanced" I also note that "Power Management Enabled" is also *not* checked).

Am I missing something?

I'd just as soon not have to "log on" to this machine every time I'm away from it for a while.

Thanks in advance. If this has been covered somewhere previously, I apologize. I had a hard time trying to figure out exactly what terms I should use to search for (either here or with Google).

G.--

I figured this would happen. Ran software update today, and now everything seems to be working fine.
