Carbon screen lock management issue

I'm having a hard time finding a way to manage this.

I don't want the screen to lock at all. Right now, it's still locking after a few minutes. (I haven't timed it yet.)

In the Power Management Preferences, I've got display power management turned on, but 'put to sleep after' is set to 'never.'

Brightness Reduction is also set to 'never.'

In the Screensaver Preferences, The screensaver is not enabled, and neither is the Lock Screen.

Is there somewhere else this would be controlled?

(I work from home most of the time, so I don't need to have my machine lock if I'm away from it. I would turn these features on when working elsewhere, or when on battery.)

Re: Carbon screen lock management issue

I don't know what's happening here. I'm running Carbon on a desktop and it never locks however long it's left, just turns off the screen. (Of course it does lock when going into suspend.) That's how I want it, and it sounds like what you want too...

But my settings seem to be the same as yours. Maybe quicker to post screenshots of my power manager and screensaver settings:

See anything different?
