You might want to add this line to your /home/dsl/.xinitrc (not at the end and before the desktop is started) :

xset s off &

Here's more information about the xset command :

I continue on this topic!

I installed a new motherboard yesterday, replacing my old Celeron 400 with a  faster Celeron 700  :p !

Same config, connections etc but for the video card, replaced my Radeon 9250 pci  with a Radeon 9600 agp!

I re-installed DSL (same harddrive etc, but wanted to reinstall due to new hardware if something would fail ??? ) !

After hard drive installation finished and I booted from harddrive, the first thing I did was to install Synaptic!

BUT... I got some strange errors about could not install depending packages or something, and that it ignored it!

But now, everytime I try to start Synaptic it says:
"wget: server returned error 404: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found"
"touch: /var/tmp/synfail: No such file or directory"
"An error occured while trying to get apt downgrade" !

WHAAAT  :O !? This worked perfectly on the 400mhz board, and I am suprised that a mobo-change can cause this!

So, anyone has a sollution!? Without Synaptic I wont use DSL!
It's probably not your fault.  404 means the server doesn't have the file you requested. In this case, I think it's the synaptic debian package. Someone else had the same problem just the other day, and solved it by installing synaptic from a different server using apt-get.

It might be the ibiblio mydsl server again, though. That server suffers frequent problems.

In any case, Synaptic obviously didn't install properly.
martinalexander, see the Apt thread about 404 for your solution.
Well, this helped me for future usage, but not to get synaptic working again! Tried apt-get update, but gave the same error :0 !
