Toshiba Satellite M300 - Screen randomly locks, no idea why


Hey Guys,

Seems that there are quite a few problems regarding these toshibas, and mine is particularly annoying. My screen randomly locks me out, usually when I'm in the middle of writing something important, requiring me to put in my password to unlock it. I honestly have no idea what is causing it. KDE gives me a warning right before it locks out saying "Message from Power Management: The screen is being locked". I have tried playing with the settings in the power management configuration tab in KDE, but nothing seems to help.

I am running KDE 4.2.1, opensuse 11.2.

I really don't know what info to provide in this thread, but if there's any help you guys could provide it would be great.

Thanks alot

Seems that I was able to solve this problem by upgrading my H20 Insyde bios from 1.50 to 1.60
