Hello, I've followed instructions quoted under my post succesfully on raspbian jessie. Now I've installed stretch (not upgrade, installed image, then update) screen is locking via shortcut c+a+l, but when my monitor is turned off (power saving mode after 600) when I return to rpi and move cursor or press key, screen isn't locked. How can I make it to autolock after monitor is turned off?
my output for xset q is:
Code: Select all

~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart contains:

@xset s 0 0
@xset s noblank
@xset s noexpose
@xset dpms 0 0 600
Can someone help me figure it out please? I dont want to use xscreensaver (I've uninstalled it, maybe it's also important). Appreciate any advice!

Configure the built in lxde screensaver, lock screen, and monitor (actually turn offs, not screen blanking) power save features via lightlocker which uses the Jessie login screen. This also allows you to use the keyboard shortcut to screenlock:
Instructional youtube video:
https://youtu.be/aTrp83lgq_s
note- "xset q" is useful for checking screen and dpms settings, and changing them for testing (e.g., Monitor "off" is set for 1200 sec, or 20 min, and you want to test it, so you set dpms to 10 sec (xset dpms 0 0 10)). Changes here are temporary, and will not survive a reboot.
Run:
Open:
Add:
Code: Select all
# uncomment to put the monitor into power saving mode (DPMS)
hdmi_blanking=1
Open:
Code: Select all
sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
Add:
Code: Select all
@xset s 0 0
@xset s noblank
@xset s noexpose
@xset dpms 0 0 1200
Save with 'Ctrl + x', then 'y', then 'enter'
open:
(note- if you do an "apt-get dist-upgrade" instead of an "apt-get upgrade", you will need to re-add this keybind)
Code: Select all
nano ~/.config/openbox/lxde-pi-rc.xml
find:
add:
Code: Select all
<keybind key="C-A-L">
<action name="Execute"><command>lxlock</command></action>
</keybind>
The above dpms '1200', means turn off monitor after 20min, and lock screen with light-locker (lxlock). Change to whatever time you want (in seconds).
