Hi,

I am using DOSBox for very old DOS-programs. In KDE everything works fine (OpenSuse 11.2 or 11.3). On 11.3 I tested the LXDE desktop and the screensaver activates every 5 minutes when I am working inside of the DOSBox window. Other Linux distributions and/or desktops had the same type of problems (related to the SDL-library?) years ago - and solved them. Is there a way to get rid of this problem without deactivating the screensaver completely?

regards Hendrik Woltersdorf

Other distributions might not use xscreensaver, does this happen with gnome-screensaver on openSUSE as well? You can try to install it without dragging in too many dependencies.

I tried it. It did not work: ** (gnome-screensaver:6079): WARNING **: Failed to get session presence proxy: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SessionManager': no such name

As a workaround you could also inhibit xscreensaver by starting your application like this: dosbox & while kill -0 $!; do xscreensaver-command -deactivate; sleep 1; done >/dev/null 2>&1

I tried this one too, but could not get it working (bash rejects "$!"). I am not good enough in bash scripting to correct it. regards, Hendrik Woltersdorf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org

Hmm, I recently tested with 11.3 RC2 and it worked fine, are you sure it's not running in the background? You can try to run it in the foreground with gnome-screensaver --no-daemon Don't forget to stop xscreensaver first.

Sorry, I use ksh93 and didn't test it with bash, that seems a limitation of bash's parser, try dosbox & while kill -0 ${!}; do xscreensaver-command -deactivate; sleep 1; done >/dev/null 2>&1 You could also make a small wrapper script from it.

After I found out, what "kill -0" and "$!" mean, I managed to create a working version (as long as there is only one dosbox): dosbox & while kill -0 `pidof dosbox`; do xscreensaver-command -deactivate; sleep 1; done >/dev/null 2>&1 regards Hendrik Woltersdorf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org
