Lion OS Screen Saver bug.

Not just me then.

I'm getting exactly the same problem. Hoping this annoying problem will get fixed soon with the next mini update.

Me too - driving me up the wall - had to eventually turn it off (which is not the solution I want).

me too

Same problem. I'm so happy I'm not the only one. It's driving me wild.

I'm having the same problem as well. I guess I don't need to do a reinstall if this is a common issue.

Seems like this problem is limited to Mid-2010 MBP's with i5/i7. Very unfortunate since this model line has had many problems interacting with Apple software (kernel panics, etc.)

Only way to solve this issue for now is to set the Start Screen Saver setting in preferences to "Never". If you are leaving your system unattended and want to lock it, then just Apple Menu --> Sleep.

Wouldn't be surprised if Apple never resolves this issue for us given that they did nothing about the hordes of Mid-2010 owners complaining of kernel panics and it never got a single fix.

See above.

I have exactly the same problem since i installed Lion on my MBP.

It happens every half hour.

I also am having the bug.

Mid-2010 15" MBP 2.66 i7

Not only does the screensaver activate randomly during regular usage, but it also activates Flurry screensaver (which isn't even the screensaver which I had selected before turning it off!) immediately upon startup every time - this happens over the user login screen, as I have auto-login disabled.

Additionally, since installing lion, I have had 2 complete system freezes - has never happened on this MBP since I purchased it in 2010.

I just solved it for my 2010 MacBook Pro. I was researching an unrelated problem with 1Password locking all the time. And it turns out to be related.

AgileBits, makers of 1Password reports: "The general class of application that provides any kind of video drivers for screen sharing, supports remote devices or computers as “monitors”, etc. has been identified as needing to either be updated for Lion, or temporarily removed from your system if the software vendor hasn’t yet gotten a compatible update ready."

It appears to be the result of specific apps, including AirDisplay, LaunchBar, and DisplayPad. I was using AirDisplay.

I just uninstalled AirDisplay (via the uninstall script) and rebooted and the screensaver problem has completely been fixed. Thank goodness.

AirDisplay for me to - uninstalled and everything is good. Thanks so much!

Thanks.

AirDisplay did it for me too - all is fine now. Thanks a lot JoeMeg!

Air Display was also guilty for my disruptive screensaver problems after the Lion upgrade!

Thank you for a great recommendation.
