[SunHELP] Screen Saver Password?

[Henderson, David]

I've seen a similar thing before on an E3000.

Once the screensaver kicked in it would not appear to recognise your password.

What was actually going on was the password field did not have the focus.

When you move the mouse about you may see a very small dot moving around on the screen as well.  This is your mousepointer.

Try clicking it on the password field and try entering your password.

Probably not the solution required but you never know.

Subject: [SunHELP] Screen Saver Password?


Hello all,

I think I had this problem before, but it was never solved.  Now, on my
Sun Ultra 1 running Solaris 8.  I use CDE as my window manager or whatever
and whenever the screen saver kicks in and it needs a password to resume,
it never seems to know my password.  I type in my password over and over
again so I know I'm typing the right thing.  Heck, I can ssh to the
machine using the same password and login just fine.  It's just that darn
screen saver password.  

Has anyone else ever had this problem?  If so, what did you do to fix it?
Thank you very much! :)
