Totem power manager integration
Last modified: 2006-04-23 13:08:11 UTC
Please describe the problem: Totem now handles keeping the screensaver in check nicely. What I do notice however using Totem on my laptop is that I am having a similar irritation with the laptop hardware power/screensaving features. After a while the laptop turns of the monitor unless I press a key. Would be nice if Totem could use gnome-power -manager to keep my laptop from going into rest mode while playing a movie. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
Totem shouldn't need integration with g-p-m, it already tells gnome-screensaver not to switch itself on. Jon?
Correct. g-p-m shouldn't set the DPMS timeouts unless it gets a session-idle signal from gnome-screensaver. The session-idle signal should be inhibited by totem. You might try logging out and back in and using dbus-monitor --session to see if g-s or g-p-m are doing anything. However, it might be some other application taking liberties with xset dpms.
