It worked exactly like this in openSuSE 11.1 but not in 11.2. This might be a bug openSuSE has in common with at least debian and ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/428884 I also wrote a small script that executes gnome-screensaver-command --poke: #!/bin/bash while true do echo "en gång till" /usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command -p sleep 60 done same problem Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set heartbeat-cmd in mplayer-config or run the script from the details section 2. start watching a video with mplayer and/or don't move the mouse 3. see the screensaver appear Actual Results: the screensaver shows up. Expected Results: the screensaver should stay off. openSuSE 11.2 with standard repositories. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
