      Hi,
        

        It happens often enough that I leave the computer
          long enough for it to blacken the screen. Is there a
          combination key stroke to get x back?
        

          Thanks.

    You can always check the display settings on your System Settings
    tool.

    
    I use KDE. For a long time KDE blanked out the screen, and all I had
    to do was move the mouse to un-blank it. Then came the locking
    option.

    
    But then I installed the kde-screensaver package. (There's one for
    gnome, too; I don't know about XFCE or other desktops.) Then at last
    I could use the plethora of options I once had under xscreensaver.
    Only now they're built-in to System Settings and do not try to load
    as a separate terminate/stay-resident routine. I set my screensaver
    to display a slideshow, based on the same options I use to show a
    "slideshow wallpaper."

    
    I also made sure to set screensaver on, and turn the lock off. (My
    computer is in a room that only I ever visit.)
