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

!

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

!? 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.
