As far as I can tell, for now, the problem I always had with password protected screensaver are gone.
The problems that I previously experienced were:
- Computer goes to sleep with protected screensaver. On wake up, it would beach ball
- Close lid with external display connected. On wake up: black screen of death
- If it works it take a long time to get out of sleep and to be presented the login window
I'm happy to report that in 2 weeks, all the above didn't happen to me. I'm happier.
