Description Olaf Hering 2006-12-03 09:14:59 UTC 
During 10.2rc3 and later installation (after we fixed the timers related crashes in Xorg) the screensaver/screen blanker kicks in.
This happens at the beginning of the installation, right after the X process is running and yast starts to probe the mouse.
I can not always reproduce this. So far I have seen it on the powerbook g4 3 times and today on my g5. I noticed that the timezone is UTC before yast starts, and once yast is running, the timezone is EST. Maybe X gets confused by this event?

Hard to say if this is a yast or xorg bug.
Comment 1 Olaf Hering 2006-12-03 10:04:34 UTC 
/etc/localtime does not exist before yast starts, then it will be a symlink to ..//usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern

Marcus, can it be related to bug 221272?
Comment 3 Olaf Hering 2006-12-05 09:59:03 UTC 
No, it is not the same. In fact, it goes blank before the mouse probing, and before yast does anything with timezone.
Comment 4 Marcus Schaefer 2006-12-05 10:00:32 UTC 
No because he is talking about the very beginning of the installation
right after yast was started in the first stage. Bug 221272 happens during
hardware configuration

X11 guys, do you have any idea why the screensaver starts? YaST itself doesn't start it...
