Locking screen in 10.6

[addp009]

So I did a clean install in 10.6 and noticed that locking screen turns the screen off, rather than going into screen saver mode (like in 10.5). Is this the behavior for your guys too or did I misconfigure something?

how are you locking it? you could try using a hot corner to activate a screen saver...and set the screen save to require a password

Every night if I leave my MBP on and I try to turn monitor back on in AM, it's frozen.

I enabled the keychain app icon in menu bar, and I click that padlock and select "lock screen".

I'm not using Snow Leopard anymore.I had to downgrade back to 10.5, so its not relevant to me for the time being, but maybe someone else has this question too.
