>Description:
I'm running this on both a Thinkpad T60 and T40.

In both instances, I've installed kde4 via pkg_add -vr (so binary packages) after installing 9.0-RELEASE.

The screen "locks" (as in asks for a password) very frequently. It's easily triggerable by using the function key. But i've seen it do it at odd moments too. I'll then be greeted by a large spam of notifications about power saving. (This is with AC plugged in.)

I'd like to assist in debugging why this is occuring but I have no idea where to begin. :)

>How-To-Repeat:
Hit "fn" on said thinkpad models.
