[K12OSN] Unable to Lock Screen in k12linux F11 while using LDM_DIRECTX=True

[Todd O'Bryan]

I think the logic is that if a student locks the screen, about all you
can do is reboot the terminal. Screensavers just steal cycles from
people who are doing work, so it just blanks the screen after a period
of time.
