[opensuse-kde] Screensaver and Presentation mode
Hello, I have fresh installation of openSUSE 11.2 and I do not understand one behavior. In KDE Control center I allowed screensaver to start after 3 minutes of not doing anything. In PowerDevil I have settings of Presentation mode turning off all manipulation with screen, power saving and all stuff like this. When I wish to watch a video, I turn PowerDevill do Presentation mode, but screensaver settings is still active and disturbing every 3 minutes. It is strange. In KDE3 PowerManager disallowed start of screensaver in such case, but here not. Is there any way to fix it?

You shouldn't have to mess with powersaving profiles just to watch a video. I believe it's the job of the videoplayer to stop the screensaver. What player do you use? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

In KPowersave there was a black list of applications not allowing to start a screensaver. It worked fine.

It is same with SMplayer and Kaffeine. Best regards, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek http://www.natur.cuni.cz/~zeisek/ Jabber: vojta.sc@njs.netlab.cz ICQ: 273-557-509 Skype: vojta.sc

True, but enabling presentation mode should still work and inhibit the screen saver from starting. -- Erlend Hamberg "Everything will be ok in the end. If its not ok, its not the end." GPG/PGP: 0xAD3BCF19 45C3 E2E7 86CA ADB7 8DAD 51E7 3A1A F085 AD3B CF19

At least "-stop-xscreensaver" doesn't works with mplayer ("Turns off xscreensaver at startup and turns it on again on exit. If your screensaver supports neither the XSS nor XResetScreenSaver API please use −heartbeat−cmd instead.") I had to use: heartbeat-cmd="qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver SimulateUserActivity". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
