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
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.
them. Is there a way to get rid of this problem without deactivating the screensaver completely?
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 -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org
