Subject: xscreensaver: Won't unlock my screen at all due to apparent password
difficulties.
Package: xscreensaver
Version: 5.05-3
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line.
I have been noticing that I cannot break out of the locked screen mode at all
without pressing the reset button.
The problem I've been having is that, although I KNOW that I have been
supplying the correct password, no possible typing of it will do the trick at
all.
If there is a work-around, I have been unable to find it.
I rated this as Important in severity because of the need to press the reset
button to break out of the locked screen condition. I much prefer to have the
machine shut down normally.
I have noted this on my AMD64 machine ONLY. Two IA-32 machines I have happen to
function normally in that regard.
