Solved - Re: notebook-monitor mirroring not working on Fedora 22

[Robert Moskowitz]

Still some tweaking to do.  Finally found where to add <Super>+L to lock 
screen for example.  In Settings>Keyboard.

Screen blanking is interesting.  I have determined that xflock4 just 
blanks the screen, not turn the monitor off on my Lenovo x120e.  A 
couple minutes later something actually turns the video off; have not 
figured out what that is.  I have put up with the back light on for 
months on my old system.  Actually on it, I watch something turn off the 
screen, then something (I assume xflock4) turn it back on in back-light 
mode.  Can't figure out what is causing this...

Just general 'phun'.
