I've had the screenlock kick in while playing using a gamepad back in my early Mint days (maybe around 2016'sh?) but I've never had it happen recently. I wonder if you have to have sleep enabled as an option for this to trigger? I have screenlock configured, but not sleep.

I've spent tens of hours playing No Rest for the Wicked on gamepad recently, and never had my screen randomly lock.

Now that I think about it - those Mint days were when I was using a wired Xbox360 controller, but now I'm on a bluetooth Dualsense controller. Maybe it's the bluetooth keeping my session alive.

Thank you for helping to keep GamingOnLinux civil and safe!
